3rd option is the right answer...


- ( - 2 - 5x) + ( - 2) = 18


2 + 5x - 2 = 18


5x + 2 - 2 = 18


5x = 18


x = (18)/(5) \\

Answer:

x =
(18)/(5)

Explanation:

note that + (- ) = -

- (- 2 - 5x) + (- 2) = 18 ← distribute parenthesis on left side by - 1

2 + 5x - 2 = 18

5x = 18 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x =
(18)/(5)
