Question

PLZZZ I NEED HELPPPPPP 4x-5=-8 solve for x plz help and show work I really want to know how to do it

Answer 1

x= 3.25

Explanation:

Lets start off by writing the equation:
`4x-5=-8`

next you subtract 5 from both sides

then you will get:
`4x=-13`

next you will divide 4 from both sides to isolate x and what is equal to x

then you get your answer :)

`4x-5=-8`

`4x-5=-8\\ -5 -5`

`4x=-13`

`(4x=-13)/(4)`

`x = -3.25`

i hope this helps luv :)
