To solve the equation

\[
\frac{6 + x}{-2} = -5,
\]

you can start by multiplying both sides by -2 to eliminate the fraction:

\[
6 + x = -5 \times -2.
\]

Calculating the right side:

\[
-5 \times -2 = 10,
\]

so the equation becomes:

\[
6 + x = 10.
\]

Next, subtract 6 from both sides to solve for \(x\):

\[
x = 10 - 6.
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
x = 4.
\]

Thus, the solution is

\[
\boxed{4}.
\]
