To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable on one side.
Starting with the given equation:
(4x - 10) + 5 = x - 11
First, we can simplify the left side of the equation by combining like terms:
4x - 10 + 5 = x - 11
4x - 5 = x - 11
Next, we can get rid of the x term on the right side of the equation by subtracting x from both sides:
4x - 5 - x = x - 11 - x
3x - 5 = -11
To isolate the variable term, we can add 5 to both sides of the equation:
3x - 5 + 5 = -11 + 5
3x = -6
Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 3:
3x/3 = -6/3
x = -2
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -2.
The correct answer is: D. -6
