Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

6 (x + 4) + 1 = x + 5

6x + 24 + 1 = x + 5 (distributive property)

6x + 25 = x + 5

6x + 25 - x = 5

5x + 25 = 5

5x = 5 - 25

5x = -20

x = -20/5

x = -4

Hope it helps ⚜

Answer: x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]6\left(x+4\right)+1=x+5[/tex]

[tex]$Expand the parentheses[/tex]

[tex]6x+25=x+5[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Subtract\:}25\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}[/tex]

[tex]6x+25-25=x+5-25[/tex]

[tex]$Simplify[/tex]

[tex]6x=x-20[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Subtract\:}x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}[/tex]

[tex]6x-x=x-20-x[/tex]

[tex]$Simplify[/tex]

[tex]5x=-20[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}5[/tex]

[tex]\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{-20}{5}[/tex]

[tex]$Simplify[/tex]

[tex]x=-4[/tex]
