Hey!

Let's write the problem.
[tex]2x-4-5x=2[/tex]
Add like terms...
[tex]-3x-4=2[/tex]
Add [tex]4[/tex] to both sides.
[tex]-3x-4+4=2+4[/tex]
[tex]-3x=6[/tex]
Divide both sides by [tex]-3[/tex].
[tex]\frac{-3x}{-3}=\frac{6}{-3}[/tex]

Our final answer would be,
[tex]x=-2[/tex]

Thanks!

2x-4-5x=2
2x -5x= -3x
 -4-3x= 2
+4       +4
------------
     -3x = 6
 ------------------
       -3    -3
        
       x = -2
