if 5x=-20 then it would be
[tex] - 20 + 2 - 2 = - 18 - 2[/tex]
adding 2 and subtracting 2 they cancel out so its
[tex] - 20 = - 18 - 2[/tex]
and if you subtract 2 from negative 18 it is negative 20 so it is true
[tex] - 20 + 2 - 2 = - 18 - 2[/tex]
adding 2 and subtracting 2 they cancel out so its
[tex] - 20 = - 18 - 2[/tex]
and if you subtract 2 from negative 18 it is negative 20 so it is true
Cancel −2 on both sides
5x+2=−18
Subtract 2 from both sides
5x=−18−2
Simplify −18 −2 to −20
5x=−20
divide both sides by 5
x=−20/5
simplify 20/5 to 4
x=−4
