Question

-4 - (x - 2) = 5x + 6

Answer 1

Given the equation:

`-4-(x-2)=5x+6`

We will find the value of x as follows:

`-4-x+2=5x+6`

combine the like terms:

`\begin{gathered} -5x-x=6-2+4 \\ -6x=8 \end{gathered}`

divide both sides by (-6)

`\begin{gathered} (-6x)/(-6)=(8)/(-6) \\ \\ x=-(4)/(3) \end{gathered}`

So, the answer will be x = -4/3
