1. Problem Description

We are asked to solve the equation x2=0-x - 2 = 0 for xx.

2. Solution Steps

The goal is to isolate xx on one side of the equation.
We start with the given equation:
x2=0-x - 2 = 0
Add 2 to both sides of the equation:
x2+2=0+2-x - 2 + 2 = 0 + 2
x=2-x = 2
Multiply both sides of the equation by 1-1:
(1)(x)=(1)(2)(-1)(-x) = (-1)(2)
x=2x = -2

3. Final Answer

x=2x = -2
