So you’d distribute first, then combine like terms. After you’ve done that you’d do the inverse to isolate x

Answer:
x = -31

Explanation:
To solve for x, you will need to isolate the x on one side of the equation.

This can be done as follows:
5(x-4) + 2 = -173
5x - 20 + 2 = -173
5x - 18 = -173
5x = -173 + 18
5x = -155
5x/5 = -155/5
x = -31

Hope this helps :)
