Answer 2

combine like terms

since you have -4x on the right side of the eqn you can add 4x to both sides to get

9 - 2x + 4x = -8 - 4x + 4x

the 4x's will cancel out on the right side to get


9 + 2x = -8

from there, you can subtract 9 from both sides and divide by 2 to isolate x

Answer 3

Oh okay, so the answer is -17/2?

Answer 4

good
