Answer: All real numbers are solutions.

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−(5x+6)−x=−6−6x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−(5x+6)−x=−6−6x

−5x+−6+−x=−6+−6x(Distribute)

(−5x+−x)+(−6)=−6x−6(Combine Like Terms)

−6x+−6=−6x−6

−6x−6=−6x−6

Step 2: Add 6x to both sides.

−6x−6+6x=−6x−6+6x

−6=−6

Step 3: Add 6 to both sides.

−6+6=−6+6

0=0
