Hi there!

Answer:

x=-52

Explanation:

addition property of equality is adding the same number to both sides of an equation does not change the equation.

subtraction property of equality is subtracting the same number from both sides of an equation does not change the equation.

subtract by 2 both sides of an equation.

x+2-2=-50-2

simplify.

-50-2=-52

50+2=52

52-2=50

x=-52 and -52=x

Hope this helps!

-Charlie

Have a great day!

x would equal -52 because -50 minus 2 would equal -52 so your final answer would be x=-52
