Question 641865
First solve for x


{{{-1(x-1)=5}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-x+1=5}}} Distribute.



{{{-x=5-1}}} Subtract {{{1}}} from both sides.



{{{-x=4}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(4)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-4}}} Reduce.


-------------------------------------------------------

So we know that {{{x=-4}}}


Multiply both sides by -4 to get 


{{{-4x=(-4)*(-4)}}}


{{{-4x=16}}}


which is the final answer
