Find roots of polynomial $$ p(x) = 2-2x-3x $$

The root of polynomial $ p(x) $ is:

$$ \begin{aligned}x &= \frac{ 2 }{ 5 } \end{aligned} $$

Step 1:

Combine like terms:

$$ 2 \color{blue}{-2x} \color{blue}{-3x} = \color{blue}{-5x} +2 $$

Step 2:

$$ \begin{aligned} -5x+2 & = 0 \\[1 em] -5 \cdot x & = -2 \\[1 em] x & = - \frac{ 2 }{ -5 } \\[1 em] x & = \frac{ 2 }{ 5 } \end{aligned} $$
