You can put this solution on YOUR website! The first thing we need to do is distribute the -2(1-x) we do this by multiplying the -2 by both 1 and -x.
-2*1=-2
-2*-x=2x
Now we can put them in our problem:
3-5x+2x=-2-2+2x
We are going to put our x's on the left side now:
3-5x+2x-2x Remember, when the x's or numbers cross the equals sign, change the sign!
Now we are going to put the numbers in the right side:
-5x+2x-2x=-3-2-2
Combine like terms:
-5x=-7
Finally, divide both sides by -5
x= -7/-5
Remember, if both numbers in a fraction or negative, it is a positive fraction
Final Answer: [x= 7/5]
