Differentiate w.r.t. x

$-2$

Steps Using Derivative Rule for Sum

Combine $3x$ and $-5x$ to get $-2x$.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(-2x-1)$$

The derivative of a polynomial is the sum of the derivatives of its terms. The derivative of a constant term is $0$. The derivative of $ax^{n}$ is $nax^{n-1}$.

$$-2x^{1-1}$$

Subtract $1$ from $1$.

$$-2x^{0}$$

For any term $t$ except $0$, $t^{0}=1$.
