Answer:
x=5 over 2 (it's a fraction)
Explanation:
STEP 1 distribute : 4-1 (2x+4)=5
4-2x-4=5
STEP 2 subtract: 4-2x-4=5
-2x=5
STEP 3 divide both sides of the equation by the same term:
-2x=5
-2x 5
----- ------
-2 -2
STEP 4 simplify:
cancel the terms that are both the numerator and denominator
divide the numbers
x= - 5 over 2 (fraction)
