Question 472977
{{{5x-4-x=-3x-6-x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{4x-4=-3x-6-x}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{4x-4=-4x-6}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{4x=-4x-6+4}}} Add {{{4}}} to both sides.



{{{4x+4x=-6+4}}} Add {{{4x}}} to both sides.



{{{8x=-6+4}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{8x=-2}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-2)/(8)}}} Divide both sides by {{{8}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-1/4}}} Reduce.
