Answer:
(D)[tex]-8x-5=4x+2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is:
[tex]-3x+2-5x-7=4x+2[/tex]
Combining the like terms, we get
[tex]-3x-5x+2-7=4x+2[/tex]
[tex]-8x-5=4x+2[/tex]
which is the required correct step for solving the given equation.
therefore, again combining the like terms, we get
[tex]-8x-4x=2+5[/tex]
[tex]-12x=7[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{-7}{12}[/tex]
thus, option D is correct.
