Looks like some spaces need to be placed between the choices and the problem?  Kind of confusing  or those dashes or minus signs?

radar · Answer

The way these things are solved usually go something like this.

4x+5=88            4x+5=-88
4x=88-5             4x=-88-5
4x=83                  4x=-93
x=83/4                 x=-93/4

x=83/4, -93/4
