This gives us 2 = 4x - 8x - 5 Simplifying this, we get: 2 = -4x - 5 Now, we can add 5 to both sides to isolate the x term: 7 = -4x Finally, dividing both sides by -4, we get: x = -7/4. Therefore, the correct answer is D: 3/2. The other options are incorrect because they do not correctly solve the equation. A, B, and C are all negative values and do not
