Write an equation with variables on each side of the equal sign that has a solution of -2

Question

Idk

Answer 1

Start with the solutions:

x = -2

and perform the same operation on both sides using properties of equality.

For example:

5x = -10 (multiply both sides by 5)

5x - 3 = -13 (subtract 3)

6x - 3 = x - 13 (add x to both sides)

That is a linear equation that has the variable on both sides and when you solve for x, the solution is x = -2.
