    -x - 4

    Step-by-step explanation:

    (x + 1) - (2x + 5)

    Distribute the - sign into (2x + 5). When you do so, the positive sign will change to negative sign

    We have

    x + 1 - 2x - 5

    Rearrange the expression

    x - 2x + 1 - 5

    -x - 4

    Distribute the minus to (2x+5)

    new equation: x+1-2x-5

    combine like terms:

    x-2x = - x

    1-5 = - 4

    Solution: - x-4
