After solving the given equation, you will find out that x= -7
Step-by-step explanation:
From my understanding, the unknown value of x has to be calculated in this equation
<em>1. Bracket open</em>
-2(-4x - 2) - 5x + 5 = -12
8x + 4 -5x + 5 = -12
<em>2. Take all variables at the left side and all numbers at the right side</em>
8x - 5x = -12-4-5
<em>3. Make x the subject</em>
3x = -21
x = 
<em>4. Solve to find x</em>
x = -7
Therefore, the value of x is -7
