Answer:

x = 2.5

Explanation:

We need to find out the x.

First, we put together on one side of the equation the terms with an x and on the other side the terms without it. For that, we subtract 6 on both sides of the equation:

6 - 2x - 6 = 1 - 6

-2x = -5

Now we divide both sides by (-2):

-2x/-2 = -5/-2

x = 5/2 = 2.5
