Bot GPT 3.5 To solve the given equation, first combine like terms:
5x - 2x + 4 = -5
(5 - 2)x + 4 = -5
3x + 4 = -5
Next, isolate the variable x by subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation:
3x + 4 - 4 = -5 - 4
3x = -9
Finally, solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 3:
3x/3 = -9/3
x = -3
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -3.
