Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed{\bold{x=-41}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 4 from both sides of equation

$\bold{4x+4-4=5x+45-4}$

Simplify

$\bold{4x=5x+41}$

Subtract 5x from both sides

$\bold{4x-5x=5x+41-5x}$

Simplify

$\bold{-x=41}$

Divide both sides by -1

$\bold{\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{41}{-1}}$

Simplify

➤ $\bold{x=-41}$
