5x-20+2= -173
5x-18= -173
5x= -155
x= -31
First, you multiply everything in parentheses by 5 and then add the 2. Next, you subtract 20-2 which will give you -18. Then, you add 18 to both sides which will give you -155. Finally, you divide -155 by 5 to give you a final answer of -31.

Answer:
x = -31

Explanation:
To get the value of x, we will need to isolate the x on one side of the equation.
This can be done as follows:
5(x-4) + 2 = -173

1- get rid of the brackets:
5x - 5(4) + 2 = -173
5x - 20 + 2 = -173

2- Combine like terms:
5x - 20 + 2 = -173
5x - 18  = -173
5x = -173 + 18
5x = -155

3- Get rid of the coefficient of the x:
5x = -155
x = -155/5
x = -31

Hope this helps :)
