The given equation is −(2x+4)=−2x−5.
To solve this equation, we can distribute the negative sign to both terms inside the parentheses:
−2x − 4 = −2x − 5.
Now, we can subtract −2x from both sides of the equation to isolate the constants:
− 4 = − 5.
This equation is not possible because it leads to a contradiction. Therefore, there is no solution for this equation.
