Expanding the left side of the equation, we get:
-(−5x−5)−1 = 5x + 5 − 1 = 5x + 4
Expanding the right side of the equation, we get:
-(−9x+1)+6x = 9x - 1 + 6x = 15x - 1
So the equation is:
5x + 4 = 15x - 1
Subtracting 5x from both sides, we get:
4 = 10x - 1
Adding 1 to both sides, we get:
5 = 10x
Dividing both sides by 10, we get:
x = 1/2
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 1/2.
−(−5x−5)−1=-(−9x+1)+6x
