Answer: x = -4

Explanation:

Given expression

x - 4 = -5x - 28

Add 5x on both sides

x - 4 + 5x = -5x - 28 + 5x

6x - 4 = -28

Add 4 on both sides

6x - 4 + 4 = -28 + 4

6x = -24

Divide 6 on both sides

6x / 6 = -24 / 6


\boxed{{x = -4}}

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions
