-x-\left(-4\right)-5=6x-4
To find the opposite of x-4, find the opposite of each term.
-x+4-5=6x-4
The opposite of -4 is 4.
-x-1=6x-4
Subtract 5 from 4 to get -1.
-x-1-6x=-4
Subtract 6x from both sides.
-7x-1=-4
Combine -x and -6x to get -7x.
-7x=-4+1
Add 1 to both sides.
-7x=-3
Add -4 and 1 to get -3.
x=\frac{-3}{-7}
Divide both sides by -7.
x=\frac{3}{7}
Fraction \frac{-3}{-7} can be simplified to \frac{3}{7} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
