-1 + x + -1((-5 * -1 + x * -1) + x(-5 + x)) = 0
-1 + x + -1((5 + -1x) + x(-5 + x)) = 0
-1 + x + -1(5 + -1x + (-5 * x + x * x)) = 0
-1 + x + -1(5 + -1x + (-5x + x2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -1x + -5x = -6x
-1 + x + -1(5 + -6x + x2) = 0
-1 + x + (5 * -1 + -6x * -1 + x2 * -1) = 0
-1 + x + (-5 + 6x + -1x2) = 0
