For this case we must solve the following equation:
[tex]-5x - 4 = 46[/tex]
To do this, we must clear the value of "x":
We add 4 to both sides of the equation:
[tex]-5x - 4 + 4 = 46 + 4\\-5x = 50[/tex]
We divide between -5 on both sides of the equation:
[tex]\frac {-5x} {- 5} = \frac {50} {- 5}\\x = -10[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]x = -10[/tex]
