Respuesta :

multiply by 5 first= 2(x-2)= -15  then do distributive property and finally solve the problem leading to the answer of -11/2, most likely

Multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of fractions
2(x-2)=-15

Distribute on the left
2x-4=-15

Add 4 to both sides
2x=-11

Divide both sides by 2
x=-11/2

Final answer: x=-11/2 or x=-5.5
