keeping in mind that standard form for a linear equation means
• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions
• only the constant on the right-hand-side
• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted
• "x" must not have a negative coefficient

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.<span><span>−<span>5<span>(<span>x−4</span>)</span></span></span>=<span>−<span>30
</span></span></span>Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.<span><span>−<span>5<span>(<span>x−4</span>)</span></span></span>=<span>−30</span></span>
<span>Simplify: (Show steps)</span><span><span><span>−<span>5x</span></span>+20</span>=<span>−<span>30
</span></span></span>Step 2: Subtract 20 from both sides.<span><span><span><span>−<span>5x</span></span>+20</span>−20</span>=<span><span>−30</span>−20</span></span><span><span>−<span>5x</span></span>=<span>−<span>50
</span></span></span>Step 3: Divide both sides by -5.<span><span><span>−<span>5x</span></span><span>−5</span></span>=<span><span>−50</span><span>−5</span></span></span><span>x=<span>10
</span></span>Answer:<span>x=<span>10</span></span>
