I can help you with the finding the value for x part

pooja195 (pooja195):

\[\huge~\rm~x+1=-x-5\] Start by subtracting x from both sides

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

it is easier to add x to both sdies

pooja195 (pooja195):

\[\huge~\rm~x-x+1=-x-x-5\]

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

but it doesnt matter listen to poojacarefully :)

pooja195 (pooja195):

Correct :)

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

pooja195 (pooja195):

=)

pooja195 (pooja195):

I'll do the steps for you, you can pick out what i did :)

pooja195 (pooja195):

Subtract 11x from both sides. \[\huge~\rm~8x−4−11x=11x+5−11x\] \[\huge~\rm~\bf −3x−4=5\] Add 4 to both sides. \[\huge~\rm~−3x−4+4=5+4\] \[\huge~\rm~\bf−3x=9\] Divide both sides by -3. \[\huge~\rm~\bf -3x/-3=9/3\] \(\huge\color{red}{x=−3}\)

pooja195 (pooja195):

Does that help?

pooja195 (pooja195):
