Answer
The value of $x$ is $-3$.
Work Step by Step
Add $4$ to both sides of the provided equation to get
$\begin{align}
& -2x-4+4=x+5+4 \\
& -2x=x+9 \\
\end{align}$
Subtract $x$ from both sides of the above equation
$\begin{align}
& -2x-x=x+9-x \\
& -3x=9 \\
\end{align}$
Divide both sides of the above equation by $-3$:
$\begin{align}
& \frac{-3x}{-3}=\frac{9}{-3} \\
& x=-3
\end{align}$
Therefore, the value of is $-3$.
