Given the equation 4x + 5 = 2x - 3

In order to find the solution of the equation, solve for the value of x.

First step is to transpose expressions with the same variable on one side. Remember when transposing variables, the sign changes.

4x-2x = -3-5

2x=-8

Divide both sides by 2 in order to get the value of x.

x=-4
