= 4 [solve for the x-term]
= (x)(4) [multiply through by a common denominator (x)]

=4x
=0
=0
(x-5)(x+1) = 0 [factor]
.
x-5=0 [set each factor equal to zero and solve for the x-term]
x=5
.
x+1=0
x=-1
.
So, x=5 or x = -1
.
check by plugging the values of (x) back into the original equation and solve.
