Question

$$\frac{ x }{ 2 } = \frac{ -x }{ 2 } -1$$

Solve for x

$x=-1$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $2$.

$$x=-x-2$$

Add $x$ to both sides.

$$x+x=-2$$

Combine $x$ and $x$ to get $2x$.

$$2x=-2$$

Divide both sides by $2$.

$$x=\frac{-2}{2}$$

Divide $-2$ by $2$ to get $-1$.

$$x=-1$$
