Answer:

You messed up between your second and third row.

Explanation:

On you second step, you had -x-5 = 2x+4. Then you added 2x to both sides when you should’ve subtracted 2x from both sides. The their row should be -3x-5 = 4. Then you could add 5 to both sides to get -3x = 9. Which makes x = -3.
