It isn't right because the 1/6 didn't have an x, so you would just have 5, not 5x.

no the answer is.......x = -65/6
u messed up at 6x + 5x = -60. You dont need the x in 5x. Dont know where u got what from. But im 100% sure about my answer!!

Right idea, but where did the extra "x" come from in the third line.
Should be 6x + 5 = -60
Clearly, you know how to solve from there.

no its not. You added an x where there wasn't one to begin with
30 x 1/6 doesn't equal 5x

you see there is no x in 1/6, so it is wrong.
