The expression x - 5x simplifies to -4x. This is because when subtracting like terms, we subtract the coefficients of the variables while keeping the variable the same. In this case, x has a coefficient of 1 and -5x has a coefficient of -5, so when subtracted, we get -4x.

Oh, dude, so when you have x-5x, you're basically subtracting 5x from x. So, if you had 1x and you took away 5x, you'd be left with -4x. It's like math, but with a side of sass.
