Answer: [tex]x=-16[/tex]
Subtract 3/8x from both sides
[tex]\frac{3}{4} x+2-\frac{3}{8} x=\frac{3}{8} x-4-\frac{3}{8} x[/tex]
[tex]\frac{3}{8} x+2=-4[/tex]
Subtract 2 from both sides
[tex]\frac{3}{8} x+2-2=-4-2[/tex]
[tex]\frac{3}{8} x=-6[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 8/3
[tex](\frac{8}{3} x)*(\frac{3}{8} x)=(\frac{8}{3} )*-6\\x=-16[/tex]
