Sᴏʟᴜᴛɪᴏɴ :

$\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 4x + 2 = - 8$

$\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 4x = - 8 - 2$

$\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: x = - 10 \div 4$

$\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: x = - 2.5$

Answer 2

The value of x in the equation is 5/2

To solve this question, we have make x the subject of formula.

Subject of Formula

To solve this problem, we have to make x the subject and we first of all collect like terms and then divide both sides by the coefficient of x

$4x+2 = -8$

collect like terms

$4x+2 = -8\\4x = -8 -2\\4x = -10$

divide both side by the coefficient of x

$\frac{4x}{4} =-\frac{10}{4} \\x = \frac{10}{4} \\x = \frac{5}{2}$

The value of x in the equation is 5/2.
