Well you start like all algebraic expressions by getting the variable on one side, (x in this case) and the constant (2 and -4) on the other side.
- The first step would be to subtract 5x by both sides, which would change the equation to "2>2x-4".
- The next step would be to add 4 to both sides changing the equation to look like "6>2x".
- Finnaly divide both sides by two to get the variable x on it's own, coming out to equal "3>x".
- Note the greater than sign ">" does not have to be flipped as x was not negative when dividing to get "x" .
I hope this helped and this was my first answer!
