-x -2 = 1 - 2x

Add 'x' to both sides ( preserve equality ; balance)

-2 = 1 - x

Add '2' to both sides

0 = 3 -x

Add 'x' to both sides

x = 3 The Answer !!!!!

NB When said as 'adding/subtracting etc., to both sides', this is to preserve equality (=), so the eq'n remains 'balanced', just like a weigh scales.

e.g. with numbers.

5 = 3 + 2 , however, 5 - 2 = 3 ( same difference!!!!!).
