1. The problem is to simplify the expression $2 - 5\sin x$. 2. This expression is already in its simplest form because it is a linear combination of a constant and the sine function. 3. The expression represents a function of $x$ where the sine of $x$ is multiplied by $-5$ and then added to $2$. 4. There are no further simplifications, factorizations, or evaluations possible without a specific value for $x$. 5. Therefore, the final answer is simply: $$2 - 5\sin x$$
