Answer:

⁻¹¹⁄₂ or -5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

[ Step 1: Subtract 4x from both sides ]

2x − 3 − 4x = 4x + 8 − 4x

−2x − 3 = 8

[ Step 2: Add 3 to both sides ]

−2x − 3 + 3 = 8 + 3

−2x = 11

[ Step 3: Divide both sides by -2 ]

-2x / -2 = 11 / -2

⁻¹¹⁄₂ or -5.5 (If you convert the fraction to a decimal)
