Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

5(-4)-2(-4-7)=2

Answer:x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x-2(x-7)=2

5x+(-2)(x)+(-2)(-7)=2(distribute)

5x+-2x+14=2(combine like terms)

3x+14=2

Step 2: Subtract 14 from both sides.

3x+14-14=2-14

3x=-12

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

3x/3=-12/3

X=-4
