5x+2+6x+9=10x+5

add like terms

11x + 11 = 10x + 5

11x + 11 - 11 = 10x + 5 - 11

11x = 10x - 6

11x - 10x = 10x - 10x - 6

x = -6 Answer

Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x+2+6x+9=10x+5

(5x+6x)+(2+9)=10x+5(Combine Like Terms)

11x+11=10x+5

Subtract 10x from both sides.

11x+11−10x=10x+5−10x

x+11=5

Subtract 11 from both sides.

x+11−11=5−11

ANSWER: x=−6
