To solve the equation \( x - 5x = -30 \), first combine like terms on the left side:
\[
x - 5x = -4x
\]
So the equation becomes:
\[
-4x = -30
\]
Next, divide both sides by -4 to solve for \( x \):
\[
x = \frac{-30}{-4} = \frac{30}{4} = \frac{15}{2}
\]
Thus, the solution is:
\[
x = \frac{15}{2}
\]
\[
x - 5x = -4x
\]
So the equation becomes:
\[
-4x = -30
\]
Next, divide both sides by -4 to solve for \( x \):
\[
x = \frac{-30}{-4} = \frac{30}{4} = \frac{15}{2}
\]
Thus, the solution is:
\[
x = \frac{15}{2}
\]
