Answer 9

here you are! hope I helped! :)

Distribute the 5, -2 amd -2

5x-15-4x-8=-2x+4
Now move the -2x and 4 to the other side by adding/subtracting
5x-15-4x-8+2x-4=-2x+2x+4-4
5x-15-4x-8+2x-4=0
Now collect like terms
3x-27=0
Now add 27 to both sides to get 3x alone
3x-27+27=27
3x=27
Now divide both sides by 3 to get x alone
3x/3=27/3
x=9
