I hope you get a good grade on that practice thing or test or whatever it is!
Answer: x= -8
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 x + 2 = -5x/8 - 5
x/4 + 2 = -5x / 8 - 5
we collect like term
x/4 + 5x / 8 = -5 - 2
2x + 5x / 8 = -7
7x / 8 = -7
cross multiply
7x = -56
Divide bothside by 7
7x / 7 = -56/7
x = -8
