5(2x - 1) = 6
10x - 5 = 6
10x - 5+ 5 = 6 + 5
10x = 11
10x / 10 = 11 /10
x = 1 1/10
x = 1.1

Simplifying
5(2x + -1) = 6
Reorder the terms:
5(-1 + 2x) = 6
(-1 * 5 + 2x * 5) = 6
(-5 + 10x) = 6
Solving
-5 + 10x = 6
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '5' to each side of the equation.
-5 + 5 + 10x = 6 + 5
Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0
0 + 10x = 6 + 5
10x = 6 + 5
Combine like terms: 6 + 5 = 11
10x = 11
Divide each side by '10'.
x = 1.1
Simplifying
x = 1.1
