Question

Can someone help me with this math problem

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Divide both sides of the equation by -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal of the equation is to isolate x. In order to do that we have to remove the '-2' by doing the inverse operation. That is the opposite operation, for example addition and subtraction, multiplication and division.

Since x is being multiplied by -2, we do the inverse which is division.
