Question 685198
{{{4x-2=5x-8}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{4x=5x-8+2}}} Add {{{2}}} to both sides.



{{{4x-5x=-8+2}}} Subtract {{{5x}}} from both sides.



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



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



{{{x=(-6)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=6}}} Reduce.
