9x-2(-1-x)=x-5

To solve the equation \( 9x - 2(-1 - x) = x - 5 \), we can follow these steps:

1. Distribute the \( -2 \) on the left side of the equation: \[ 9x - 2(-1) - 2(-x) = x - 5 \] \[ 9x + 2 + 2x = x - 5 \]

2. Combine like terms on the left side: \[ (9x + 2x) + 2 = x - 5 \] \[ 11x + 2 = x - 5 \]

3. Subtract \( x \) from both sides: \[ 11x - x + 2 = -5 \] \[ 10x + 2 = -5 \]

4. Subtract \( 2 \) from both sides: \[ 10x = -5 - 2 \] \[ 10x = -7 \]

5. Divide both sides by \( 10 \): \[ x = -\frac{7}{10} \]

Thus, the solution is: \[ \boxed{-\frac{7}{10}} \]
