Question

Solve for x
-2x + 4 = 6x - 12

Answer 1

x=2

Explanation:

-2x + 4 = 6x - 12

First add 2x to each side: 4=6x−12+2x

Now simplify 6x-12+2x: 4=8x-12

add 12 to both sides: 4+12=8x

Simplify 4+12: 16=8x

Divide both sides by 8: 16/8

you end up with x=2

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

x=2

Explanation:

-2x+4=6x-12 Add 2x to both sides.

+2x +2x

4=8x-12 Add 12 to both sides.

+12 +12

16=8x Divide by 8 on both sides.

/8 /8

2=x
