Question

What belongs in the box marked with the question mark in the proof? Given: 4x + 1 = 6x - 2, Prove: x = 3/2

Statement: x = 3/2

Answer 1

We have the following expression:
4x + 1 = 6x - 2
We clear x of the expression.
We pass the variables to the right and the constant terms to the left:
1 + 2 = 6x-4x
We rewrite the expression:
3 = 2x
We passed the 2 to divide:
3/2 = x
Answer:
The value of x is:
x = 3/2
