Answer:


\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{ x - 4}}}}}

Explanation:


\sf{6(x + 1) - 5(x + 2)}

Distribute 6 through the parentheses

Similarly, distribute 5 through the parentheses


\longrightarrow{ \sf{6x + 6 - 5x - 10}}

Collect like terms


\longrightarrow{ \sf{ x + 6 - 10}}

The negative and positive integers are always subtracted but posses the sign of bigger integer


\longrightarrow{ \sf{ x - 4}}

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
