Question

Whats the answer to 2x-4x-2=-8+5x-19

Answer 1

First simplify
-2x - 2 = -27 + 5x

Then add 27 to both sides

-2x - 2 = -27 + 5x
+27. +27


-2x + 25 = 5x

Now add 2x to both sides


-2x + 25 = 5x
+2x. +2x


25 = 7x

Last, divide 7 from both sides

25/7. = 7x/7


X = 25/7 or 3 4/7

Answer 2

X=25/7 or x= 3 4/7
Steps:
1:simplify on both sides
2:subtract 5x from both sides
3:add 2 to both sides
4:divide both sides by -7
