Now I am assuming that you only want to simplify the expression and not actually solve it; otherwise you would have put a figure after the equals to sign.
(3x + 1) - (6x + 5) = 3x + 1 - 6x - 5
= 3x - 6x + 1 - 5
= -3x - 4

(3x+1)-(6x+5)= Multiply out the terms
3x+1-6x-5= Simplify
-3x-4

(3x+1)-(6x+5)
=> 3x+1-6x-5 ---> Distribute the "-1"with 6x+5
=> -3x-4 ----> Add or subtract the like terms
So, your answer is -3x-4 or -1(3x+4)
Good Luck :)

(3x+1) - (6x+5) = 3x+1 - 6x-5 = -3x-4.
First you use the multiplication property of equality, then you use the additive and subtraction properties of equality.
