To solve the equation for x, we can combine like terms on the left side of the equation:
5x - 2x + 4 = -5
Combining like terms, we get:
3x + 4 = -5
Next, we can isolate the variable x by subtracting 4 from both sides:
3x = -5 - 4
3x = -9
Finally, to solve for x, we divide both sides by 3:
x = -9/3
x = -3
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -3.
