Solve 2-1.8(-x-2)=1.9x

$$2 - 1.8 ( - x - 2 ) = 1.9 x$$

Solve for x

$$x=56$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply -1.8 by -x-2.

$$2-1.8\left(-x\right)+3.6=1.9x$$

Multiply -1.8 and -1 to get 1.8.

$$2+1.8x+3.6=1.9x$$

Add 2 and 3.6 to get 5.6.

$$5.6+1.8x=1.9x$$

Subtract 1.9x from both sides.

$$5.6+1.8x-1.9x=0$$

Combine 1.8x and -1.9x to get -0.1x.

$$5.6-0.1x=0$$

Subtract 5.6 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-0.1x=-5.6$$

Divide both sides by -0.1.

$$x=\frac{-5.6}{-0.1}$$

Expand \frac{-5.6}{-0.1} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{-56}{-1}$$

Fraction \frac{-56}{-1} can be simplified to 56 by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x=56$$
