-(-5 - 6x) = 4 (5x +3)
Pretend that there is a -1 in front of the first bracket
-1(-5-6x)= 4(5x+3)
Mutiply the first bracket by -1
(-1)(-5)(-1)(-6x)= 5+6x
Mutiply the second bracket by 4
(4)(5x)(4)(3)= 20x+12
5+6x= 20x+12
move 20x to the other side
5+6x-20x= 20x-20x+12
5+6x-20x= 12
5-14x= 12
move 5 to the other side
sign changes from +5 to -5.
5-5-14x= 12-5
-14x=7
divide by -14
-14x/-14= 7/-14
x= -1/2
Answer: x= -1/2
