5+5xe=4x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 5x, the least common multiple of x,5.
5+5xe-4x=0
Subtract 4x from both sides.
5xe-4x=-5
Subtract 5 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(5e-4\right)x=-5
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(5e-4\right)x}{5e-4}=-\frac{5}{5e-4}
Divide both sides by 5e-4.
x=-\frac{5}{5e-4}
Dividing by 5e-4 undoes the multiplication by 5e-4.
x=-\frac{5}{5e-4}\text{, }x\neq 0
Variable x cannot be equal to 0.
