What is the value of x in -4(5x-5)=120

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this equation, we start by distributing the -4 through the parentheses on the left side.

So we have -4 times x which is -20x and -4 times -5 which is positive 20. So our equation now reads -20x + 20 = 120.

Solving from here, we subtract 20 from both sides of the equation and we have -20x = 100 and dividing both sides by -20, we find that x = -5.

Although I will not provide work to check our answer, the great thing about solving equations is that your can always check your answer by substituting what you got as a final answer into the original equation.
