Answer
$\{-2\}$
Work Step by Step
Use distributive property.
$5-2x-(-1)=10$
$5-2x+1=10$
Simplify by combining lke terms:
$-2x+6=10$
Subtract $6$ from both sides.
$-2x+6-6=10-6$
Simplify.
$-2x=4$
Divide both sides by $-2$.
$\dfrac{-2x}{-2}=\dfrac{4}{-2}$
Simplify.
$x=-2$
Hence, the solution to the equation is $\{-2\}$.
