-(-(-)(-)(-10x)) = -5

We need to cancel out the negatives, so we need to simplify this.

To make things a bit easier for you, we can begin by counting out how many negatives we have. After counting, you should have a negative number count of 5. However, one of the negatives is apart of (-10x) so we'll have 4 negatives and then an extra negative in with 10x.

Remember that "-" could also be looked at as "-1."

So, if we break this down into smaller parts and substitute "-" into "-1," then this'll look like this :

-1 × -1 × -1 × -1 × (-10x) = -5

Remember that a negative times a negative is always a positive.

So, since there are four negatives, then you just multiply it all together.

This results in 1 × (-10x) = -5

Simplify.

-10x = -5

Now, you simply divide both sides by -10.

-10x ÷ -10 = -5 ÷ -10

Simplify.

x = 1/2

~Hope I helped!~
