The work inside parentheses cannot be carried out as shown, so the next approach to consider is multiplying the expressions inside the parentheses by -5 and 5 respectively:

-5 + 25x - 40x - 10 = -4x - 8x (Are you sure it's really "-4x - 8x"?)

Combining the x-terms:

-5 - 15x - 10 = -12x

Combining all like terms: -15 = 3x, so that x = -5 (answer)

Case 1: Probabilities cannot add up to a number greater (or less) than 1. This would mean there is greater than a 100% chance of something happening which just doesn't make sense. 0.4 + 0.4 + 0.3 = 1,1

Case 2: You cannot have a negative probability. That is claiming that there is a -10% chance of an event happening, there is at the very least a 0%. Despite them "adding" up to 1, the negative probability makes no sense.

Hope I helped!
