Answer:

x = 14/5

Explanation:

2x-4= -x-6/2

multiply by 2 on both sides to get rid of the fraction

4x-8= -x-6

add both sides by 8 and both sides by x to get the constants on the right and the variables on the left

4x+x=6+8

combine like terms/simplify

5x=14

divide both sides by 5 to isolate the x

x=14/5

i hope this helps :)

To solve it would be 14/5 but if it’s simplify it would be 5x=14
