Question 994929
.
-2x - 4 + 3x = 8
-----------------------------


If you want to solve this equation, then first group the terms with x:


(-2x + 3x) - 4 = 8.


It is the same as


x - 4 = 8.


Add 4 to both sides:


x - 4 + 4 = 8 + 4.


It is the same as


x = 12.


You just got the answer. Congratulations!
