Question

What are the steps to this equation to -2x-4+5x=8

Answer 1

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x=12

x=4

Answer 2

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

−2x − 4 + 5x = 8

[ Simplify both sides of the equation ]

−2x − 4 + 5x = 8

−2x + −4 + 5x = 8

(−2x + 5x) + (−4) = 8 (Combine Like Terms)

3x + −4 = 8

3x − 4 = 8

[ Add 4 to both sides ]

3x − 4 + 4 = 8 + 4

3x = 12

[ Divide both sides by 3 ]

3x / 3 = 12 / 3

x = 4
