#x = -18#

Here's how I did it:

Explanation:

#-97 - 2x = 10x + 119#

First, let's add #2x# to both sides of the equation:
#-97 = 12x + 119#

Now let's subtract #119# from both sides of the equation:
#-216 = 12x#

Finally let's divide both sides by #12# to get the value of #x#:
#x = -18#

Hope this helps!
