-2x+5=2

To solve the equation \(-2x + 5 = 2\), follow these steps: 1. **Isolate the term with \(x\)**: Subtract 5 from both sides: \[ -2x + 5 - 5 = 2 - 5 \] This simplifies to: \[ -2x = -3 \] 2. **Solve for \(x\)**: Divide both sides by -2: \[ x = \frac{-3}{-2} = \frac{3}{2} \] Thus, the solution is: \[ x = \frac{3}{2} \] or \(1.5\).
