whatever you do to one side, you must do to the other side to keep the equation balanced.

in order to isolate the variable (x), you need to divide by 2. Since you are dividing the right side by 2, then you must divide the left side by 2.

-10÷2 = 2÷2x

-5 = 1x

-5 = x

The empirical rule says that approximately 68% of any normal distributed data set lies within one standard deviation of the mean.

$\mathbb P(-2$
$\implies\mathbb P(-2$

The same rule states that about 95% lies within two standard deviations of the mean. Using this rule, and the fact that any normal distribution is symmetric about its mean, you have

$\mathbb P(-2$
$0.95=2\mathbb P(-2$
$\implies\mathbb P(-2$

$\implies\mathbb P(-2$
