Question

Solve for x -(2x+5)+14=22

Answer 1

Hey there!☺

$Answer:\boxed{x=\frac{-13}{2}}$

$Explanation:$

$-(2x+5)+14=22$ Equation

−(2x+5)+14=22  Simplify both sides

−2x + −5 + 14 = 22 Distribute

(−2x) + (−5+14) = 22 Combine Like Terms

-2x + 9 = 22

-2x + 9 - 9 = 22 - 9 Subtract 9 from both sides

-2x = 13

-2x/-2 = 13/-2

-13/2 Add the negative to 13

x = -13/2

Hope this helps!
