Answer 1

Answer:

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

-(5x-2)

the sign has been put outside so inside signs would be changed so our equation will be

-5x+2=27

-5x=25

x=25

___

-5

x=-5

Answer 2

Answer:

2 - 5 x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

-(5 x - 2) = 27

Multiply both sides of -(5 x - 2) = 27 by -1:

(-(5 x - 2))/(-1) = -27

(-1)/(-1) = 1:

5 x - 2 = -27

Add 2 to both sides:

5 x + (2 - 2) = 2 - 27

2 - 2 = 0:

5 x = 2 - 27

2 - 27 = -25:

5 x = -25

Divide both sides of 5 x = -25 by 5:

(5 x)/5 = (-25)/5

5/5 = 1:

x = (-25)/5

The gcd of -25 and 5 is 5, so (-25)/5 = (5 (-5))/(5×1) = 5/5×-5 = -5:
