Answer: x=14

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Simplify 1/5(x−4) to (x−4)/5​​.

(−x−4)/5=−2

2. Multiply both sides by 5.

−x+4=−2×5

3. Simplify 2×5 to 10.

−x+4=−10

4. Regroup terms.

4−x=−10

5. Subtract 4 from both sides.

−x=−10−4

6. Simplify −10−4 to −14.

−x=−14

7. Multiply both sides by −1.

x=14
