Answer:

-9.5

Explanation:

We can create an equation to represent this, where
n is the missing value.


2n - 2 = -21

Now we can solve for
n by isolating it on one side of the equation.

Add 2 to both sides:


2n - 2 + 2 = -21+2\\\\2n = -19

Divide both sides by 2:


2n/2 = -19/2\\\\n = -9.5

Hope this helped!
