Step-by-step explanation:
-2 (x+5) = 4
open the bracket with - 2
-2x - 10 = 4
combine the like terms
-2x = 4 + 10
-2x = 14
divide by - 2
-2x/-2 = 14/-2
x = - 7

-7
Step-by-step explanation:
First simplify both sides.
-2 (x+5) = 4
(-2) (x) + (-2) (5) = 4
-2x+-10=4
-2x-10=4
Then add 10 to both sides.
-2x-10+10=4+10
-2x=14
Finally divide both sides by - 2.
-2x / - 2 = 14 / - 2 = - 7
Answer: - 7
