Answer: x = 0

Step-by-step explanation: x+5=−5x+5

Add 5x to both sides.

x+5+5x=5

Combine x and 5x to get 6x.

6x+5=5

Subtract 5 from both sides.

6x=5−5

Subtract 5 from 5 to get 0.

6x=0

Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since 6 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.

x=0
