multiply both sides by minus 1
that would get rid of the minus sign on the left, and get
x = -5

Multiply both sides by -1, getting x= - 5.

So then x=-5
So you need to plug that into the Y= equation Im assuming.
Provide us with the context if possible.

The last step = - x = 5
Multiply the last step by - 1 to have a positive x
-1(-x) = -1(5)
- ( - x) = - 5
x = - 5
- - - - - - - - - - -s-

x=-5 just multiply both sides by -1

You equation is -x=-5.
Divide both sides by -1.
-x/-1=-5/-1
which is
x=5

MULTIPLY BOTH SIDES BY MINUS ONE
X = -5
