Question

Which statement correctly describes The solution to the equation below

Answer 1

In order to find the solution, we need to isolate the variable x.

Then, by distributing the number -4 into the parenthesis, we have

`-4x-8+x=3x-8-5x`

Now, by combining similar terms, we obtain

`-3x-8=-2x-8`

By adding 8 to both sides, we get

`-3x=-2x`

This equation will be true as long as x is zero. Therefore, the answer is option C
