-1(2x+11)+6x =2(-x-9)-5

-2x+-11 +6x =-2x-18-5

4x-11=-2x-23

4x-11+11=-2x-23+11

4x=-2x-12

4x/-2x=-2x/-2x-12

-2x=-12

-2x/-2=-12/-2

X=6

Step 1. Simplify 6 - 4(-x-9)-5 to -4(-x-9) + 1

4 - 5(2x + 11) + 6x = -4(-x-9) + 1

Step 2. Expand

4 - 10x - 55 + 6x = 4x + 36 + 1

Step 3. Simplify 4 - 10x - 55 + 6x to -51 - 4x

-51 - 4x = 4x + 36 + 1

Step 4. Simplify 4x + 36 + 1 to 4x + 37

-51 - 4x = 4x + 37

Step 5. Add 51 to both sides

-4x = 4x + 37 + 51

Step 6. Simplify 4x + 37 + 51 to 4x + 88

-4x = 4x + 88

Step 7. Subtract 4x from both sides

-4x - 4x = 88

Step 8. Simplify -4x - 4x to -8x

x = -88/8

Step 10. Simplify 88/8 to 11

x = -11
