If you need to solve this equation you can multiply the both side of equation on (-1). Like that <span>2 = (-x); -1·2 = (-1)·(-x) if you multiply negative and </span><span>positive </span>you'll have negative, if you multiply negative and <span>negative you'll have </span><span><span>positive. So </span> </span>-2 = x. or x = -2. The answer is -2.
