Hello!
Answer:
Starting with:
5x + 4(-x - 2) = -5x + 2(x - 1) + 12
Distribute terms outside of the parenthesis:
5x + 4(-x) + 4(-2) = -5x + 2(x) + 2(-1) + 12
5x - 4x - 8 = -5x + 2x - 2 + 12
Combine like terms:
x - 8 = -3x + 10
Isolate for the "x" variable by adding 3x for both sides:
4x - 8 = 10
Add 8 to both sides:
4x = 18
Divide both sides by 4:
x = 18/4
x = 4.5
Hope this helped! :)
