Answer:

x = 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to distribute the -2:

-2(2+x) = -2x-4

Next you simplify:

x-2x = -x

Then you get all the x values on one side of the equation and everything else on the other side:

7-3x = -x-4   -->   11 = 2x

Finally, you isolate the x by dividing:

2x = 11   -->   x = 5.5
