5-4x-8=25-8x
Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by x+2.
-3-4x=25-8x
Subtract 8 from 5 to get -3.
-3-4x+8x=25
Add 8x to both sides.
-3+4x=25
Combine -4x and 8x to get 4x.
4x=25+3
Add 3 to both sides.
4x=28
Add 25 and 3 to get 28.
x=\frac{28}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=7
Divide 28 by 4 to get 7.
