Question

Consider this equation:

Answer 1

First you will add 4 to both sides the. you will combine the “ x” s since they are like terms, then you will divide the total x to both size to get it by itself :))
hope this helps !!!

Answer 2

Answer:

Solve for the (number or thing that changes), so you need to (separate far from others)/get x by itself

-2x - 4 + 5x = 8 First I want to combine like terms (-2x and 5x)

-4 + 3x = 8 (Add 4 on both sides)

3x = 12 Then divide 3 into both sides to get x by itself

x = 4

Combine like terms (add the 5x to the -2x to get 3x). Move the -4 to the other side to get 3x= 12. Divide both sides by 3 to get x=4. Apply the addition property of (a state where all things are equal), Apply the division property of (a state where all things are equal) to divide both sides by 3, Finally, check the solution by substituting 4 into the original equation.
