Answer:
x= -16
Step-by-step explanation:
The goal in this problem is to get X on one side by itself.
We know that the opposite of subtraction is addition and the opposite of multiplication is division.
so to get 5 over to the right side, we need to subtract.
-2x+5=37 >>-2x= 37-5= 32
your problem now reads -2x= 32
We still have -2 on the left side and we need it to go to the right side so that X is by itself. The opposite of multiplication is division, so we will need to divide
-2x=32÷-2 >> x=-16
