Question 649598
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]
