Bot GPT 3.5 To solve for x, we first need to simplify the expression by distributing the -2:
-2(2x + 9) + 8 = -4x - 18 + 8 = -4x - 10
Now, we will divide this expression by 5:
(-4x - 10) / 5 = -x
To isolate x, we will multiply every term by 5:
-4x - 10 = -5x
Now, we will solve for x by adding 5x to both sides:
x = -10
Therefore, x is equal to -10.
