Answer:
x = - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]x - 6 = 5(x + 2) \\ \\ x - 6 = 5x + 10 \\ \\ x - 5x = 10 + 6 \\ \\ - 4x = 16 \\ \\ x = \frac{16}{ - 4} \\ \\ x = - 4[/tex]
Answer: -4
Step-by-step explanation: remove the parentheses
x-6=5x+10
x-5x-6=10
then move the terms
x-5x=10+6
collect like terms
-4x=10+6
-4x=16
divide both sides
x=-4
