-(-5 - 6x) = 4 (5x +3)

Pretend that there is a -1 in front of the first bracket

-1(-5-6x)= 4(5x+3)

Mutiply the first bracket by -1

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

Mutiply the second bracket by 4

(4)(5x)(4)(3)= 20x+12

5+6x= 20x+12

move 20x to the other side

5+6x-20x= 20x-20x+12

5+6x-20x= 12

5-14x= 12

move 5 to the other side

sign changes from +5 to -5.

5-5-14x= 12-5

-14x=7

divide by -14

-14x/-14= 7/-14

x= -1/2

Answer: x= -1/2
