Answer:

38.2

Step-by-step explanation:

5 (x-4) + 2 = 173

=> 5x - 20 + 2 = 173

=> 5x - 18 = 173

=> 5x - 18 + 18 = 173 + 18

=> 5x = 191

=> 5x/5 = 191/5

=> x = 38.2

So, x is 38.2

Step 1: distribute, 5x-20+2=-173
Step 2: combine so -20+2=-18 so you are going to have 5x-18=-173 then you add -18 to -173 and it going to be 5x=-155
Step 3: multiply, 5x/5=-155/5 is
X=-31
