5x-5-6=4\left(x+1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x-1.
5x-11=4\left(x+1\right)
Subtract 6 from -5 to get -11.
5x-11=4x+4
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x+1.
5x-11-4x=4
Subtract 4x from both sides.
x-11=4
Combine 5x and -4x to get x.
x=4+11
Add 11 to both sides.
x=15
Add 4 and 11 to get 15.
