What is an algebraic expression?

An algebraic expression is the representation of numbers with variables with the purpose of solving for the variable. The variables are expressed by using alphabetical letters, here it is (x).

From the given algebraic expression, we have:

4x + 2 = -8

Collect like terms

4x = -8 - 2

4x = - 10

Divide both sides by 4

[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{4x}{4} = \dfrac{-10}{4}}[/tex]

x = -2.5
