Question

Solve 5x-2+x=-20 ( Adding this to just make the 20 character requirement.)

Answer 1

x= -3

Explanation:

Answer 2

`\text{Hello there! :)}`

`\large\boxed{x = -3}`

`5x - 2 + x = -20\\\\\text{Combine like terms:}\\\\5x + x - 2 = -20\\\\6x - 2 = -20\\\\\text{Add 2 to both sides:}\\\\6x - 2 + 2 = -20 + 2\\\\6x = -18\\\\\text{Divide both sides by 6:}\\\\6x / 6 = -18/6\\\\x = -3`
