Final answer:

The equation has no solution when x>0.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation x³+5=-4x when x>0, we'll simply substitute the given value of x into the equation.

Plugging x=1 into the equation, we get:

(1)³+5=-4(1)

1+5=-4

6=-4

This is not a true statement, so x=1 is not a solution to the equation. Therefore, there is no possible solution when x>0.
