Use the Distributive Property to solve the equation.
Apply the Distributive Property and simplify.
-5(x+2)=20
-5x+___=20

X=-6

If you divide both sides by -5 5/5 is 0 & 20/5 is 4 the next step is to subtract 2 from both sides. -4-2 is -6

[tex]\implies {\blue {\boxed {\boxed {\purple {\sf { \: x = - 6}}}}}}[/tex]

[tex]\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {STEP-BY-STEP\:EXPLANATION:}}}[/tex]

[tex] - 5 \: ( \: x+ 2 \: ) = 20[/tex]

[tex]➺ \: - 5x - 10 = 20[/tex]

[tex]➺ \: - 5x = 20 + 10[/tex]

[tex]➺ \: - 5x = 30[/tex]

[tex]➺ \: x = \frac{30}{ - 5} [/tex]

[tex]➺ \: x = - 6[/tex]

Therefore, the value of [tex]x[/tex] is [tex]-6[/tex].

[tex]\sf \bf {\boxed {\mathbb {TO\:VERIFY :}}}[/tex]

[tex] - 5 \: ( \: x + 2 \: ) = 20[/tex]

[tex]❥ \: - 5 \: ( \: - 6 + 2 \: ) = 20[/tex]

[tex]❥ \: - 5 \: ( \: - 4 \: ) = 20[/tex]

[tex]❥ \: 20 = 20[/tex]

❥ L. H. S. = R. H. S.

Hence verified.
