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 )
x =
, that is
x = - 1
