36-2x=-49
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-2x=-49-36
Subtract 36 from both sides.

x=\frac{-85}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=\frac{85}{2}
Fraction \frac{-85}{-2} can be simplified to \frac{85}{2} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
