SOLUTION: Can you solve the equation: 2x-4+3x+5=2x-2
My work so far...
=2x-4+3x+15 = 2x-2
=5x+11 = 2x-2
=3x+11 = -2
After that I am lost because I dont know what move to do next or if I

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Can you solve the equation: 2x-4+3x+5=2x-2
My work so far...
2x-4+3x+15 = 2x-2 *** Is it 15 or 5?
5x+11 = 2x-2
3x+11 = -2
-----------
Subtract 11
3x = -13
Divide by 3
x = -13/3
================
If it's 5 and not 15,
2x-4+3x+5 = 2x-2
5x + 1 = 2x - 2
3x = -3
x = -1
