If \(2(x – 5) = –11\), then \(x = ?\)

first you distribute. so, 2(x - 5) = - 11 so since you distributed it would be, 2x - 10 = -11 then you add 10 to both sides, so now its 2x=-1 now we divide, 2 2 x ​ = 2 − 1 ​ so now you get : x = -0.5
Lets check. 2(-0.5 - 5) = -11 so first we distribute, -1 - 10 = -11 does -1 - 10 = -11?? Yup!! So x= -0.5 is your answer, i hope i helped! :D

X= **-1/2 **IS THE ANSWER FOR THE QUESTION SO OTHERS I GUESS HAVE ANSWERD CORRECTLY IT CAN ALSO BE -0.5

To find x in the equation 2 ( x − 5 ) = − 11 , first distribute to get 2 x − 10 = − 11 . Then, isolate x by adding 10 to both sides and dividing by 2, resulting in x = − 0.5 . A quick check confirms the solution is correct.
