Given
As given equation in the question be .
−(−2−5x)+(−2) = 18
Find out the value of x .
To prove
As given equation in the question be .
−(−2−5x) + (−2) = 18
First open the bracket of the above equation
than the sign of the equation changes as
2 +5x -2 = 18
5x = 18
solving we get

x = 3.6
Therefore the value of x be 3.6 .
Hence proved
