Thank uh !​

Answer 1

• x= -5/2

Explanation:

4x+2 = -8

4x = -10

4x/4 = -10/4

x = -5/2

Answer 2

x = -5/2

Explanation:

4x+2 = -8

We are solving for x

The first step in isolating x is to subtract 2 from each side

4x+2-2 = -8-2

4x = -10

Divide each side by 4

4x/4 = -10/4

x = -10/4

Simplify the fraction

x = -5/2
