    how do you solve(2(2X-5)=-2)

  2. Assistant

    To solve for x in the equation 2(2x - 5) = -2, we can apply algebraic manipulations to both sides simultaneously until the variable is isolated.

    First, divide both sides by 2: 2x - 5 = -1

    Next, add five to both sides: 2x = 4

    Finally, divide by 2 again: x = 2

    We get as a result that x is equal to 2. We can check this by evaluating the expression on the left side: 2(2(2) - 5) = 2(4 - 5) = 2(-1) = -2.
