k first what do you think it is

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation. (x+4)(2)−5=2 Simplify: (Show steps) 2x+3=2 Step 2: Subtract 3 from both sides. 2x+3−3=2−3 2x=−1 Step 3: Divide both sides by 2. 2x = -1 --- --- 2 2 x= −1 2 x −1 ----- 2 ________________________________________ Answer: x= −1 2
