-8-4x+25=30
Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by 2+x.
17-4x=30
Add -8 and 25 to get 17.
-4x=30-17
Subtract 17 from both sides.
-4x=13
Subtract 17 from 30 to get 13.
x=\frac{13}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
x=-\frac{13}{4}
Fraction \frac{13}{-4} can be rewritten as -\frac{13}{4} by extracting the negative sign.
