Question 1056605
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.

x= {{{ -5/2 }}}
