To solve this equation we must first plug in 5 for x.
<span> (5 - 4x)
</span>↓
(5 - 4 · 5)
The next step would be to multiply 4 by 5 to get rid of the parenthesis within our main parenthesis.
(5 - 4 · 5)
(5 - 20)
The next step would be to subtract both of the numbers within the parenthesis.
(-15)
Now we must multiply.
- · 15 = -

Now we simplify our answer to get our final answer.
