The answer to the question is to combine like terms first:

-8x - 5 = 4x + 2

Isolate the variable x:

-5 = 12x + 2

12x = -7

x = -7/12

I'm a little confused, it's about Combining like terms but I did don't understand

2(-n-3)-7(5+2n)

First, you need to distribute the numbers in front of the parentheses to those in the parentheses. This means you multiply.

2 times -n= -2n

2 times -3= -6

-7 times 5= -35

-7 times 2n= -14n

This leaves you with

-2n -6 -35 -14n

Next, combine like terms.

(-2n) + (-14n)= -16n
(-35) + (-6)= -41

This gives you

-16n-41, which is B in your answer choices.

Hope this makes sense!! :)
