    First, you combine like terms. On the left you would subtract the x from 2x giving you 1+x=x-5+x. On the right you add x to x to get 2x, 1+x=2x-5. Then, you move the smallest coefficient, this being the x, to the other side. 1=x-5. Finally, you add t to both sides to give you 6=x.

    x = 6

    Step by step:

    First, collect like terms:

    1 + 2x - x = x - 5 + x

    1 + x = x - 5 + x

    1 + x = 2x - 5

    Next, move terms:

    1 + x = 2x - 5

    (Move variable to the left side and change its sign)

    1 + x - 2x = - 5

    (move constant to the right side and change its sign)

    x - 2x = - 5 - 1

    Next, collect like terms:

    x - 2x = - 5 - 1

    -x = - 5 - 1

    (Calculate the difference_

    -x = - 6

    Finally change the sign on both sides of the equation:

    -x = - 6

    x = 6
