Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x=-\dfrac{44}{3}=-14\dfrac{2}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-2x-117=10x+59\qquad|\text{add 177 to both sides and subtract}\ 10x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\-2x-10x-117+117=10x-10x+59+117\\\\-12x=176\qquad|\text{divide both sides by (-12)}\\\\\dfrac{-12x}{-12}=\dfrac{176}{-12}\\\\x=-\dfrac{176:4}{12:4}\\\\x=-\dfrac{44}{3}$
