Question

Solve each equation below for x. Check your final answer
4x=6x-14

Answer 1

4x=6x-14

4x-6x=6x-6x-14 (subtract -6x on both sides)

-2x=-14 (divide both sides by -2x)

x=7

Answer 2

`4x=6x-14 \\ 4x+14=6x \\ 14=2x \\ (14)/(2)=x \\ \boxed{x=7} \\ \\ Check: \\ 4x=6x-14 \\ 4(7)=6(7)-14 \\ 28=42-14 \\ 28=28 \\ it\ works!`
