Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(x+5)=4

open the bracket with -2

-2x - 10 = 4

combine the like terms

-2x = 4 + 10

-2x = 14

divide by -2

-2x/-2 = 14/-2

x = -7

Answer:

<u>-7</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

First simplify both sides.

−2(x+5)=4

(−2)(x)+(−2)(5)=4

−2x+−10=4

−2x−10=4

Then add 10 to both sides.

−2x−10+10=4+10

−2x=14

Finally divide both sides by -2.

−2x/ −2  =  14/ −2 = -7

<u>Answer: -7</u>
