By Associative property,
-2 + (1-2x) = (-2 + 1) - 2x
= -1 - 2x

Simplifying
-2 + (1 + -2x)
Remove parenthesis around (1 + -2x)
-2 + 1 + -2x
Combine like terms: -2 + 1 = -1
-1 + -2x
Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '-1'.
-1(1 + 2x)
Final result:
-1(1 + 2x)

Are you trying to find the solution????
Or are you trying to break it down to its simplest form?
(1-2x)+-2-(-2)=y - (-2)
1-2x= y+2
1+ (-2x) = y+2
-2x+ 1-1=y+2-1
-2x=y+1
I hoped this helped!

-2 + (1-2x)=0
-2 +2 + 1-2x=2
+1 -1 - 2x=2 - 1
-2x=1
x = 1/-2
x= -1/2
x=-0.5

If you're solving for x and want a definite number then you need a = and something on the other side

-2x -1 is a cleaner way of writing this.
But it is a pretty meaningless statement.
