To solve:

-2x = 34
----- -----
-2 -2

(-2x means -2 times x, so to undo this we need to divide by -2 on both sides)

x = -17

Then you do basic division (knowing that a positive divided by a negative results in a negative answer). And that's it!

Hello!

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{X=-17}[/tex]

*The answer must have a NEGATIVE sign!*

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you divide by -2 from both sides of an equation.

[tex]\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{34}{-2}[/tex]

Then, you divide by the numbers from left to right.

[tex]34/-2=-17[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{X=-17}[/tex], which is our the correct answer.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day! :)

:D
