Answer:
move like terms together
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x-4+5x = 8
-2x +5x =3x
8+4 =12
3x = 12
divide both sides by 3
x = 4
Solve for the variable, so you need to isolate/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 on both sides to get x by itself
x = 4
