Answer 1

$\huge\purple{Required \: Answer :}$

$\huge\bf{Explanation :}$

Given :

$x - 5 = 2 \: (x + 6) \\ x - 5 = 2x + 12 \\ x = 2x + 12 + 5 \\ x = 2x + 17 \\ 2x - x = - 17 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: x = - 17$

Verification :

$- 17 - 5 = 2 \: ( - 17 + 6) \\ - 22 = 2( - 11) \\ - 22 = - 22$

Hence, x = -17
