$-frac14 x+5=-15$

Transcript text: $-\frac{1}{4} x+5=-15$

Solution

Solution Steps

To solve the equation $-\frac{1}{4} x + 5 = -15$, we need to isolate the variable $x by first subtracting 5 from both sides and then multiplying by -4 to get the solution.

Step 1: Move the constant term to the other side

$-\frac{1}{4} x = -15 - 5$

Step 2: Simplify the right side

$-\frac{1}{4} x = -20$

Step 3: Multiply by -4 to isolate x

$x = (-20) \times (-4)$ $x = 80$

Final Answer

$\boxed{x = 80}$
