Answer: -1 and 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 4x = 5 : Move the constant to the left.
x^2 - 4x - 5 = 0 : Rewrite the expression.
x^2 + x - 5x - 5 = 0 : Factor the expressions.
x(x+1) - 5(x+1) = 0 : Factor the expression.
(x+1)(x-5) = 0 : Seperate into possible cases.
x + 1 = 0, x - 5 = 0 : Solve the equations.
x = -1, x = 5 : The equation has 2 solutions.
