2x-2-5x=-10
Subtract 5x from both sides.
-3x-2=-10
Combine 2x and -5x to get -3x.
-3x=-10+2
Add 2 to both sides.
-3x=-8
Add -10 and 2 to get -8.
x=\frac{-8}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
x=\frac{8}{3}
Fraction \frac{-8}{-3} can be simplified to \frac{8}{3} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
