Question

Solve for x. 4−(2x+4)=5 A x=−52 B x=6 C x=32 D x=−10

Answer 1

x=-5/2

Step-by-step:

First we multiply -(2x+4) = -2x -4

Now the equation is 4-2x-4 = 5

Combine like terms.

4-4=0

-2x = 5

Divide both sides by -2

Therefore your answer is -5/2

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

x = -5/2

Explanation:

4−(2x+4)=5

Distribute the minus sign

4 - 2x -4 = 5

-2x =5

Divide by -2

-2x/-2 = 5/-2

x = -5/2
