PLZZ HELP!!!!!!

Solve the equation, justify each step with an algebraic property: -2 = x + 28 *

x = -26, Subtraction Property of Equality
x = -30, Addition Property of Equality
x = -14, Division Property of Equality
x = -30, Subtraction Property of Equality

Answer 1

The answer is
`x = - 30`, by using the Subtraction Property of Equality.

Explanation:

Solve for
`x`:

`-2 = x + 28`

Turn the equation over:

`x + 28 = -2`

-Subtract both sides by
`28` by using Subtraction Property of Equality:

`x + 28 - 28 = -2 - 28`

`x = -30`

So, the final answer is
`x = -30` .
