Answer:
x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
First u have to bring te variable to one side and numbers for the other side. so to remove -x from the right side add x and as to balance the eqaution u have to add x for the left side too.
x+1+x=-x+(-5)+x
then it becomes,
2x+1 = -5
Now to remove +1from the left side substract 1 from both sides.
2x+1 -1 = -5-1
Now the equation is like,
2x =-6
Now divide the equation by 2
2x/2 = -6/2
then,
x = -3
So itis simply like this,
x+1 = x-5
2x=-6
x=-3
