5x = 5 + x
Subtract x from each side
4x = 5
Divide both sides by 4
x = 5/4

Set it up as an equation:
5x = 5 + x
isolate x on one side:
5x - x = 5
4x = 5
x = 4 / 5

It means that:
5x = 5 + x
4x = 5 (Subtracting x from both sides)
x = 5/4 (Dividing both sides by 4 to isolate x)

5x = x + 5
4x = 5
x = 5/4
Now, check my answer.
5(5/4) = (5/4) + 5
25/4 = 5/4 + 20/4
25/4 = 25/4
