Question

-5x+2=22
A. 96
B. 6
C. 4
D. -4
O need the answer​

Answer 1

It’ll be D. -4.
Subtract the 2 from both sides
-5x=20

then divide -5 on both sides and you’ll get -4

Answer 2

Start by subtracting 2. You end up with -5x=20. Because the five is negative, the second number must be negative, because two negatives always make a positive in multiplication. Pick the only negative answer, which is D, -4
