The solution

You have entered [src]
5*x + 15 = x - 1
$$5 x + 15 = x - 1$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
5*x+15 = x-1

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$5 x = x - 16$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$4 x = -16$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 4
x = -16 / (4)

We get the answer: x = -4
