Answer 6

To solve first distribute `-` into the parenthesis....since we are distributing a negative the signs inside the parenthesis will change to its opposites....

\(\huge\bf{-(-2-5x) \rightarrow 2+5x}\)

Now we simplify like terms...Since we have a positive 2 and a negative 2 they will cancel out....so we have...

\(\huge\bf{5x = 18}\)

So we follow the `Division Property of Equality` in which we divide by 5 from both sides...

\(\huge\bf{\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{18}{5}}\)

Simplify ;)
