Cora Osborn · Answer 1

We are given the function - 2x - 4 + 5x = 8 and is asked in the problem to solve for the variable x in the function. In this case, we can first group the like terms and put them in their corresponding sides:

-2x + 5x = 8+4

Then, do the necessary operations.

3x = 12

x = 4.

The variable x has a value of 4.
