Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

−5(−2x−5)−x−1=−12

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−5(−2x−5)−x−1=−12

(−5)(−2x)+(−5)(−5)+−x+−1=−12(Distribute)

10x+25+−x+−1=−12

(10x+−x)+(25+−1)=−12(Combine Like Terms)

9x+24=−12

9x+24=−12

Step 2: Subtract 24 from both sides.

9x+24−24=−12−24

9x=−36

Step 3: Divide both sides by 9.

9x/9 = −36/9

x=−4

Hope this helps!
