1. **State the problem:** We need to check if $x=2$ is a solution to the equation $5x + 5 = 0$. 2. **Substitute $x=2$ into the equation:** Replace $x$ with 2 in the equation. $$5(2) + 5 = ?$$ 3. **Calculate the left side:** $$10 + 5 = 15$$ 4. **Compare to the right side:** The right side of the equation is 0. 5. **Conclusion:** Since $15 \neq 0$, $x=2$ is **not** a solution to the equation $5x + 5 = 0$. **Final answer:** $x=2$ does not satisfy the equation.
