Answer:
He should have added 5 to each side instead of -5
Step-by-step explanation:
4X + 1 = 5x +(-5)
Subtract 4x from each side
4X-4x + 1 = 5x-4x +(-5)
Combine like terms
1 = x-5
Add 5 to each side
He should add 5 to each side ( we need to add the opposite of (-5)) to undo the adding of (-5)
1+5 = x-5+5
6 =x
