Answer:

-⅗ = x

Explanation:

Here is what you get when you distribute the -2 on the left side of the equivalence symbol and combine like-terms on the right side of the equivalence symbol:

-2x - 4 = 3x - 1

Here is the solution:

-2x - 4 = 3x - 1

-3x -3x

----------------

-5x - 4 = -1

4 +4

----------------

-5x = 3

----- -----

-5 -5

x = -⅗

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
