What value of x makes the equation true?

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

x = 11/10

Step-by-step explanation:

we have from statement:

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

we apply distributive property:

-1 = 1 - 4 * (-5) - 4 * (4x) - 4x

so we have:

-1 = 1+20 - 16x - 4x

-1 = 21 - 20x

-22=-20x

so we have:

x=22/20

x=11/10

we can substitute the x value found:

-1 = 1 - 4 (-5+4 * (11/10)) - 4 * (11/10)

-1 = 1+20 - 17.6 - 4.4

-1 = 21 - 22

so we have:

-1 = - 1
