Question

What does -2x-5=-4x+2 equal

Answer 1

x=7/2

DECIMAL= 3.5

Explanation:

Add 55 to both sides

-2x=-4x+2+5−2x=−4x+2+5

2 Simplify -4x+2+5−4x+2+5 to -4x+7−4x+7

-2x=-4x+7−2x=−4x+7

3 Add 4x4x to both sides

-2x+4x=7−2x+4x=7

4 Simplify -2x+4x−2x+4x to 2x2x

2x=72x=7

5 Divide both sides by 22

x=\frac{7}{2}x= 2/7
