Mathematics
1 answer:
True [87]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

-18 = -5x-(-2)

<h3>i) when there is a '-' sign in front of an expression in parentheses, change the sign of each term in the expression</h3>

-18 = -5x+2

<h3>ii) move -5x to the left-hand side and change its sign</h3>

5x-18 = 2

<h3>iii) move -18 to the right-hand side and change its sign</h3>

5x = 2+18

<h3>iv) add the numbers</h3>

5x = 20

<h3>v) divide both sides of the equation by 5</h3>

\frac{5x}{5}  =  \frac{20}{5}

x = 4
