Sage Brady · Answer 2

x = 4

Explanation:

-2x - 4 + 5x = 8

[ Simplify both sides of the equation ]

-2x - 4 + 5x = 8

-2x + - 4 + 5x = 8

(-2x + 5x) + (-4) = 8 (Combine Like Terms)

3x + - 4 = 8

3x - 4 = 8

[ Add 4 to both sides ]

3x - 4 + 4 = 8 + 4

3x = 12

[ Divide both sides by 3 ]

3x / 3 = 12 / 3

x = 4
