6x-5=-\left(-15\right)-\left(-x\right)
To find the opposite of -15-x, find the opposite of each term.
6x-5=15-\left(-x\right)
The opposite of -15 is 15.
6x-5=15+x
The opposite of -x is x.
6x-5-x=15
Subtract x from both sides.
5x-5=15
Combine 6x and -x to get 5x.
5x=15+5
Add 5 to both sides.
5x=20
Add 15 and 5 to get 20.
x=\frac{20}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=4
Divide 20 by 5 to get 4.
