Answer:

infinite solution/all real numbers

Explanation:

x+6+5x=6(x+1)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x+6+5x=6(x+1)

x+6+5x=(6)(x)+(6)(1)(Distribute)

x+6+5x=6x+6

(x+5x)+(6)=6x+6(Combine Like Terms)

6x+6=6x+6

6x+6=6x+6

Step 2: Subtract 6x from both sides.

6x+6−6x=6x+6−6x

6=6

Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides.

6−6=6−6

0=0

so it is infinite solution/all real numbers
