Answer:

Depends on what you mean by 1/4x (see below)

Explanation:

For 1/4(x)

1/4x+5 = 4 -> subtract 5 from both sides

1/4x = -1 -> multiply both sides by 4

x = -4

OR

For 1/(4x)

1/4x+5 = 4 -> subtract 5 from both sides

1/4x = -1 -> cross multiply (-1 = -1/1)

-4x = 1 -> divide both sides by -4

x = -1/4
