The first thing you need to do is distribute the "-2" to the other numbers in the parenthesis.
You should end up with this: -2x-2=-2+5
Then, you need to combine the like terms on the right side of the equation.
It should then look like this: -2x-2=3
Then, you need to get the variable by itself by adding "2" to both sides of the equation.
It should then look like this: -2x=5
The next step is to divide both sides of the equation by "-2".
This will solve the equation and give you your answer.
