The question gives us the equation
and are told to solve for the variable
. To do this, we need to simplify the equation by using the distributive property. This gives us
. Now, we combine like terms. When we do this, we get
. Next, we add 12 to both sides. This gives us
. Then, we subtract \frac{22}{5} from both sides and simplify. This gives us
. Now, we divide both sides by
to get x = -2. Therefore, the answer to this problem is
. Hope this helped!
