-6x-15=4x+35 \\ \\ -15 = 4x + 35 + 6x \\ \\ -15 = 10x + 35 \\ \\ -15 - 35 = 10x \\ \\ -50 = 10x \\ \\ - (50)/(10) = x \\ \\ -5 = x \\ \\ x = -5 \\ \\

The final result is: x = -5.

Simple,

take the equation

-6x-15=4x+35 (isolate the x)
-4x -4x

Making it,

-10x-15=35

Then,

-10x-15=35
+15 +15

-10x=50
x=-5

Thus, your answer is, x=-5.
