Answer 2

`x=-(17)/(5)`

`x=-3.4`

Explanation:

`3x+6=-5-2x-6`

➠ Combine like terms:-

`3x+6=-2x-5-6`

➠ Subtract numbers:-

`-5-6=-11`

`3x+6=-2x-11`

➠ Subtract 6 from both sides:-

`3x+6-6=-2x-11-6`

`3x=-2x-17`

➠ Add 2x to both sides:-

`3x+2x=-2x-17+2x`

`5x=-17`

➠ Divide both sides by 5:-

`(5x)/(5)=(-17)/(5)`

`x=-(17)/(5)`
