6x%2B5%2B5x-5=2%2Bx-2x-4 Start with the given equation.


11x%2B0=2%2Bx-2x-4 Combine like terms on the left side.


11x%2B0=-x-2 Combine like terms on the right side.


11x=-x-2-0 Subtract 0 from both sides.


11x%2Bx=-2-0 Add x to both sides.


12x=-2-0 Combine like terms on the left side.


12x=-2 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-2%29%2F%2812%29 Divide both sides by 12 to isolate x.


x=-1%2F6 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is x=-1%2F6
