Hey there!☺
[tex]Answer:\boxed{x=\frac{-13}{2}}[/tex]
[tex]Explanation:[/tex]
[tex]-(2x+5)+14=22[/tex] Equation
−(2x+5)+14=22 Simplify both sides
−2x + −5 + 14 = 22 Distribute
(−2x) + (−5+14) = 22 Combine Like Terms
-2x + 9 = 22
-2x + 9 - 9 = 22 - 9 Subtract 9 from both sides
-2x = 13
-2x/-2 = 13/-2
-13/2 Add the negative to 13
x = -13/2
Hope this helps!
