The value of x is -8.

$2 x - 5 (x + 6) = 34 + 5 x$ $2x-5(x+6)=34+5x$

The first step would be to expand the brackets and then simplify.

$2 x - 5 x - 30 = 34 + 5 x$ $2x-5x-30=34+5x$

$- 3 x - 30 = 34 + 5 x$ $-3x-30=34+5x$

$- 3 x - 5 x = 34 + 30$ $-3x-5x=34+30$

$- 8 x = 64$ $-8x=64$

$x = - \frac{64}{8}$ $x=-64/8$

$x = - 8$ $x=-8$
