The second equality sign is the reference to the question, is the result x = -50 correct?

(x-4)/6 = (x+5)/5

 

\(\frac{x-4}{6}=\frac{x+5}{5}\)     Multiply crosswise

 

\(5x-20=6x+30\)  Change of sides with change of sign

 

\(5x-6x=30+20\)   add

 

\(-x=50\)   Multiply on both sides -1

 

\(x=-50\)
