Answer:
[tex]\huge \boxed{x=5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]{\Large -5(-x - 1) + 4x -1= 49}[/tex]
Expand brackets.
[tex]5x+5+ 4x -1= 49[/tex]
Combine like terms.
[tex]9x+4=49[/tex]
Subtract 4 from both sides.
[tex]9x+4-4=49-4[/tex]
[tex]9x=45[/tex]
Divide both sides by 9.
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{9x}{9} =\frac{45}{9}[/tex]
[tex]x=5[/tex]
