[tex]2x + 5 = - x + ( - 1)[/tex]

[tex]2x + 5 = - x - 1[/tex]

Add both sides x

[tex]2x + 5 + x = - x - 1 + x[/tex]

[tex]3x + 5 = - 1[/tex]

Subtract both sides 5

[tex]3x + 5 - 5 = - 1 - 5[/tex]

[tex]3x = - 6[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3

[tex] \frac{3x}{3} = \frac{ - 6}{3} \\ [/tex]

[tex]x = - 2[/tex]
