Question 449749
{{{4x-8=5x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{4x=5x+8}}} Add {{{8}}} to both sides.



{{{4x-5x=8}}} Subtract {{{5x}}} from both sides.



{{{-x=8}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{x=(8)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-8}}} Reduce.
