Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] - 4x - 8 = - (5x + 3) \\ - 4x - 8 = - 5x - 3 \\ - 4x + 5x = - 3 + 8 \\ x = -3 + 8\\ x = 5[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]x=5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]-4x-8=-\left(5x+3\right)[/tex]
→ Expand:-
[tex]-\left(5x+3\right)[/tex]
[tex]=-\left(5x\right)-\left(3\right)[/tex]
→ Apply minus rule:- [tex]+\left(-a\right)=-a[/tex]
[tex]=-5x-3[/tex]
[tex]-4x-8=-5x-3[/tex]
→ Add 8 from both sides:-
[tex]-4x-8+8=-5x-3+8[/tex]
[tex]-4x=-5x+5[/tex]
→ Add 5x from both sides:-
[tex]-4x+5x=-5x+5+5x[/tex]
[tex]x=5[/tex]
