4x+5=x_{2}
Add x_{2} to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
4x=x_{2}-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{x_{2}-5}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=\frac{x_{2}-5}{4}
Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.
-x_{2}+5=-4x
Subtract 4x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-x_{2}=-4x-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
\frac{-x_{2}}{-1}=\frac{-4x-5}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
x_{2}=\frac{-4x-5}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
x_{2}=4x+5
Divide -4x-5 by -1.
