Question

Anybody have the answer?

Answer 1

-5

Explanation:

Lets enter -5 as a

`-4((-5)x+1)=20x-44\\20x-4=20x-44`

This equation has no solution because 20x are equal but they are being subtracted by different things let me show you what would happen if we continue to find x

`20x-4=20x-44`

Add 44 to both sides

`20x+40=20x`

Subtract 20x on both sides

`40=0`

As you see 40 does not equal zero meaning there is no solution

I hope this helps
