Question

Solve for x. 4- (2x + 4)=5 A. x = -10 B. x = 6 C. x = 3/2 D. x = -5/2

Answer 1

Answer:

x = (-5/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

4 - (2x + 4) = 5

-4 from both sides

- (2x + 4) = 1

divide both sides by -1

2x + 4 = -1

-4 from both sides

2x = -5

divide both sides by 2

x = (-5/2)

Answer 2

Answer:

D. x = -5⁄2

Step-by-step explanation:

4 - (2x + 4) = 5

4 - 2x - 4 = 5

-2x = 5

-2½ = x

* -2½ = -5⁄2
