Best Answer

5x + 6 - 2x = -5 - x

Reduce the x variables on the left side of the equation:

3x + 6 = -5 -x

Move the x variables to the same side of the equation

3x + x + 6 = -5 - x + x

4x + 6 = -5

Move the non-variable numbers to the other side of the equation

4x + 6 - 6 = -5 - 6

4x = -11

Divide by 4, to give you x on its own

4x/4 = -11/4

x = -11/4 = -2.75
