2x-3x-4=7%2B4x-2 Start with the given equation.


-x-4=7%2B4x-2 Combine like terms on the left side.


-x-4=4x%2B5 Combine like terms on the right side.


-x=4x%2B5%2B4 Add 4 to both sides.


-x-4x=5%2B4 Subtract 4x from both sides.


-5x=5%2B4 Combine like terms on the left side.


-5x=9 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%289%29%2F%28-5%29 Divide both sides by -5 to isolate x.


x=-9%2F5 Reduce.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So the solution is x=-9%2F5
