Answer:


\huge \boxed{x=-11}

Explanation:

First, divide by 2 from both sides of equation.


\displaystyle (2(x+6))/(2)=(-10)/(2)

Then, solve.


\displaystyle x+6=-5

Subtract by 6 from both sides of equation.


\displaystyle x+6-6=-5-6

Solve to find the answer.


\displaystyle x=-11, which is our answer.
