Answer 1

the answer you chose for your LAST post was not correct

Answer 2

oh

Answer 3

can i just get the answer

Answer 4

\[5x^2-3x=5x^2-7x+8x-2\]
Add like terms.
\[5x^2-3x=5x^2+x-2\]
Subtract 5x2 from both sides.
\[-3x=x-2\]
Subtract x from both sides.
\[-4x=-2\]
Divide both sides by -4.
\[x=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\]
