    x=1

    Step-by-step explanation:

    *I underlined everything we are working with at that moment

    - 31 - 4x = - 5 - 5 (1+5x)

    -5 (1+5x) = 5-25x

    -31-4x=-5-5-25x

    -31=-10-21x

    -21=-21x

    x=1

    Answer: x = 1

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

    -31-4x=-5-5 (1+5x)

    -31+-4x=-5 + (-5) (1) + (-5) (5x) (Distribute)

    -31+-4x=-5+-5+-25x

    -4x-31 = (-25x) + (-5+-5) (Combine Like Terms)

    -4x-31=-25x+-10

    -4x-31=-25x-10

    Step 2: Add 25x to both sides.

    -4x-31+25x=-25x-10+25x

    21x-31=-10

    Step 3: Add 31 to both sides.

    21x-31+31=-10+31

    21x=21

    Step 4: Divide both sides by 21.

    21x/21 divided by 21/21

    Get x = 1
