Answer:
x= -20
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, we have to get x by itself.
x/4= -5
x is being divided by 4. To reverse this, multiply both sides by 4, because multiplication is the opposite of division.
4*(x/4)=(-5)*4
The 4s on the left cancel, so we are left with:
x=-5*4
x=-20
To check our solution, we can substitute -20 back in for x.
x/4=-5
-20/4=-5
-5= -5
This is true, so we know that -20 is the solution.
