2\times 3+2x\times 5=-x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2x, the least common multiple of x,2.
6+2x\times 5=-x
Multiply 2 and 3 to get 6.
6+10x=-x
Multiply 2 and 5 to get 10.
6+10x+x=0
Add x to both sides.
6+11x=0
Combine 10x and x to get 11x.
11x=-6
Subtract 6 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-6}{11}
Divide both sides by 11.
x=-\frac{6}{11}
Fraction \frac{-6}{11} can be rewritten as -\frac{6}{11} by extracting the negative sign.
