\text{If I understand your question correctly, you would divide by -2}\\\\\text{The variable, x, can't be a negative, or else it wouldn't be considered}\\\text{as a solution yet}\\\\\text{Therefore you would need to divide by -2 to get x by itself, and turn}\\\text{it into a positive. "x" has to be positive}\\\\\text{For example:}\\\\-2x=2\\\\\text{You have to divide by -2 to get your solution}\\\\\text{If you divide by 2:}\\\\-2x=2\\\\-x=1\\\\\text{It would not be a solution}\\\\

\boxed{\text{Divide by -2}}
