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