5+5x-4=0
5 - 4 + 5x = 0 -->(Re-arranging the figures)
1 + 5x = 0 -->(Since 5 -4 = 1)
1 + 5x - (1) = 0 - (1) -->(Subtracting 1 from both sides)
1 - 1 + 5x = - 1 -->(Re-arranging the figures and since 0 - 1 = - 1)
5x = - 1 -->(Since 1 - 1 = 0)
5x/5 = - 1/5 -->(Dividing both the sides by 5)
1x = - 1/5 --> (Since 5/5 = 1)
Final Answer,
x = - 1/5
