In order to complete the reasons and statments, you take into account each step made in the solution of the given equation.

you proceed as follow:

Staments Reasons

1. 2x/4 = (5x + 8)/2 1. Given equation

2. 2x = 2(5x+8) 2. Multiplication property

3. 2x = 10x + 16 3. Distributive property

4. 0 = 8x + 16 4. Subtraction property

5. -16 = 8x 5. Subtraction property

6. -2 = x 6. Division property

7. x = -2 7. Symmetric property
