–2x – 4 + 5x = 8 generate a plan to solve for the variable. describe the steps that will be used.

-2x -- 4 + 5x = 8
x = 5?
-2 * 5 -- 4 + 5 * 5
-10 -- 4 + 5 * 5
-14 + 5 * 5
-14 + 25
11.
x = 3?
-2 * 3 -- 4 + 5 * 3
-5 -- 4 + 5 * 3
-9 + 5 * 3
-9 + 15
6.
x = 4.75?
-2 * 4.75 -- 4 + 5 * 4.75
-9.5 -- 4 + 5 * 4.75
-13.5 + 5 * 4.75
-13.5 + 23.75
10.25.
x = 4..?
-2 * 4 -- 4 + 5 * 4
-8 -- 4 + 5 * 4
-12 + 5 * 4
-12 + 20
8



After all this, x = 4.

What can we do about it

The correct answer is -3.9> -4.5 gucci playa
