Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
If the lonely negative sign infront of the brackets is confusing, it can be rewritten as -1.
To solve, simplify by expanding then isolate x.
-8 = -( x +4)
-8 = -1 ( x +4) Distribute over brackets by changing the each term's sign
-8 = -x - 4 Start isolating x by moving everything to the other side
-8 +4 = -x -4 + 4 Add 4 to both sides so it cancels out on the right
-4 = -x
-4 = -1x <= -x is the same at -1x
-4/-1 = -x/-1 <=divide both sides by negative 1
4 = x
x = 4 <= usually we write the variable on the left side

Answer:
(4x + 5)(x² + 25)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
4x³ + 5x² + 100x + 125 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
= x²(4x + 5) + 25(4x + 5) ← factor out (4x + 5) from each term
= (4x + 5)(x² + 25)
