Hello Lexi!

Answer:  ⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒ [tex]x=-7[/tex]

__________________________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

First you had to divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

[tex]\frac{2(x-4)}{2}=\frac{-22}{2}[/tex]

Simplify.

[tex]\frac{2(x-4)}{2}=x-4[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2(x-4)}{2}[/tex]

Divide by the numbers.

[tex]\frac{2}{2}=1[/tex]

[tex]=x-4[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-22}{2}=-11[/tex]

Apply the fraction rule.

[tex]\frac{-22}{2}[/tex]

[tex]=-\frac{22}{2}[/tex]

Then you divide by the number.

[tex]\frac{22}{2}=11[/tex]

[tex]=-11[/tex]

[tex]x-4=-11[/tex]

Add by 4 from both sides of equation.

[tex]x-4+4=-11+4[/tex]

Simplify it should be the correct answer.

[tex]x=-7[/tex]

Alright so
2 (x-4)= -22

First distribute 2 into x-4.
You first multiply 2 and x, since we don’t know what x is, we just combine 2x.
Now then there’s -4. You multiply 2 by -4 which equals to -8.

2x -8 = -22

Get rid of the constant which is -8. The coefficient is the number that is attached to your variable (2 is the coefficient and x is the variable, just keep that in mind.)
You do inverse operations. The opposite of -8 is +8 so -8 + 8 is 0, so that cancels out. Then you do the same to -22, -22 + 8 is -14.


2x = -14


2 is multiplying x so the opposite of that is dividing. We divide 2 on both sides. 2 divided by 2 cancels each other out and -14 divided by 2 is -7.

X= 7
