x+2=-10\left(x+1\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2\left(x+1\right).
x+2=-10x-10
Use the distributive property to multiply -10 by x+1.
x+2+10x=-10
Add 10x to both sides.
11x+2=-10
Combine x and 10x to get 11x.
11x=-10-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
11x=-12
Subtract 2 from -10 to get -12.
x=\frac{-12}{11}
Divide both sides by 11.
x=-\frac{12}{11}
Fraction \frac{-12}{11} can be rewritten as -\frac{12}{11} by extracting the negative sign.
