Question

I don’t get this someone answer this for me please show all work

Answer 1

5x=2x−4−2

Subtract 2 from −4 to get −6.

5x=2x−6

Subtract 2x from both sides.

5x−2x=−6

Combine 5x and −2x to get 3x.

3x=−6

Divide both sides by 3.

x= -6/3

​

Divide −6 by 3 to get −2.

x=−2

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

{-6 + 2 = -4 ; if two numbers have different sign, subtract and the result will have the sign of the bigger number}

4x = 2x - 6 + 2

4x = 2x - 4

Subtract 2x from both sides both sides

4x- 2x = 2x - 2x - 4

2x = -4

Divide both sides by 2

x = -4/2

x = -2
