    Answer:x=-4

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

    5x-2 (x-7) = 2

    5x + (-2) (x) + (-2) (-7) = 2 (distribute)

    5x+-2x+14=2 (combine like terms)

    3x+14=2

    Step 2: Subtract 14 from both sides.

    3x+14-14=2-14

    3x=-12

    Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

    3x/3=-12/3

    X=-4
