Answer:

x = - 1

Explanation:

5x + 5 = - 6(x + 1) ← distribute terms in parenthesis by - 6

5x + 5 = - 6x - 6 ( add 6x to both sides )

5x + 6x + 5 = - 6x + 6x - 6 ( simplify)

11x + 5 = - 6 ( subtract 5 from bth sides )

11x + 5 - 5 = - 6 - 5 (simplify )

11x = - 11 ( divide both sides by 11 )


(11)/(11) x =
(-11)/(11) , that is

x = - 1
