We need to solve the following equation:

[tex]-5\mleft(x+1\mright)+3x-3=-14[/tex]

let's do it step by step.

1. add 3 to both sides

[tex]-5\mleft(x+1\mright)+3x-3+3=-14+3[/tex]

2. Simplify

[tex]-5\mleft(x+1\mright)+3x=-11[/tex]

3. expand and solve

[tex]\begin{gathered} -5x-5+3x=11 \\ -2x-5=-11 \end{gathered}[/tex]

4. add 5 to both sides

[tex]-2x-5+5=-11+5[/tex]

5. Simplify

[tex]-2x=-6[/tex]

6. divide both sides by 2

[tex]\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{-6}{-2}[/tex]

7. Simplify

[tex]x=3[/tex]
