-2x = 2

Finally, divide both sides by -2:

For a complete explanation of this and other topics in EQUATION SOLVING, please see my own website. The best way to find it is to use the easy-to-remember and easy-to-spell link www.mathinlivingcolor.com. At the bottom of the page there is a single link that takes you to my Homepage. On my Homepage, look for the link "Basic, Intermediate, and College Algebra: One Step at a Time." Choose "Basic Algebra", and look in "Chapter 1" for "Section 1.08 Basic Equation Solving." This is a really important topic in algebra, and I think you will like my explanation. It's my own non-traditional explanation that my own students used to find much easier to understand than most of the other textbooks being used. I also have lots of examples, exercises, and answers. In addition, most of the hardest problems are solved in color on the MATH IN LIVING COLOR pages that go with this topic. It's ALL FREE on my website!!!
