Question

solve for x
x-2=-5

help anyone?​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side of the equation, you do to the other. Isolate the variable, x.

Add 2 to both sides of the equation:

x - 2 (+2) = -5 (+2)

x = -5 + 2

x = -3

x = -3 is your answer.
