Question

Please help it's an easy equation but idk how to solve.

5x - 6 = 4x + 8
x = -14
x = -2
x = 2
x = 14

Answer 1

5x - 6 = 4x + 8 (collect same terms on one side

5x - 4x = 8 + 6

x = 14 (your answer)

Answer 2

the value of x=14

Explanation:

`5x - 6 = 4x + 8`

Solve the equation for x.

To make x alone, we combine x terms. Subtract 4x from both sides

`5x-4x - 6 = 4x-4x+ 8`

`x- 6 =8`

To remove -6, add 6 from both sides

`x=8+6=14`

So the value of x is 14

x=14
