Answer:

x = -110/9

Explanation:

Given that:

-2(5x-4)+x+1=119

By simplifying

"-"sign before the bracket will alter inner signs

-10x + 8 + x + 1 = 119

Adding like terms

-9x + 9 = 119

Subtracting 9 from both sides we get

-9x = 119 -9

-9x = 110

Dividing both sides by -9 we get

x = 110/ -9

x = -110/9

i hope it will help you!
