Answer:-1
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−2(−x+4)−3x+2=−5
(−2)(−x)+(−2)(4)+−3x+2=−5(Distribute)
2x+−8+−3x+2=−5
(2x+−3x)+(−8+2)=−5(Combine Like Terms)
−x+−6=−5
−x−6=−5
Step 2: Add 6 to both sides.
−x−6+6=−5+6
−x=1
Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.
−x
−1
=
1
−1
/x=−1
Answer:
x=−1
