Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:


2-x=5x+44

First, add x to both sides.


\begin{gathered} 2-x+x=5x+x+44 \\ 2=6x+44 \end{gathered}

Next, subtract 44 from both sides.


\begin{gathered} 2-44=6x+44-44 \\ -42=6x \end{gathered}

Finally, divide both sides by 6.


\begin{gathered} -(42)/(6)=(6x)/(6) \\ -7=x \\ \implies x=-7 \end{gathered}

The solution set is {-7}.
