Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Gabriela has solved incorrectly. 5 should distributed to 9x & (-8) and 4 should be distributed between x & 2
5(9x - 8) = 4*(x + 2)
5*9x - 5*8 = 4*x + 4*2
45x - 40 = 4x + 8
Subtract 4x from both sides
45x - 4x - 40 = 8
41x - 40 = 8
Add 40 to both sides
41x = 8 + 40
41x = 48
x = 48/41
