Question

Solve the equation:

3x/5 - 4 = - 6 + x
Enter in your answer as x=

Answer 1

Explanation:

3/5 x -4 = -6 + x add 6 to both sides of the equation

3/5 x + 2 = x subtract 3/5 x from both sides

2 = 2/5 x multiply both sides by 5/2

5/2 * 2 = x = 5

Answer 2

x=5

Explanation:

Add 4 to both sides to eliminate the constant term on the left side.

53x​−4+4=−6+x+4

53x​=−2+x

Multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction on the left side.

5×53x​=5×(−2+x)

3x=−10+5x

Subtract 3x from both sides to collect the variable terms on the right side.

3x−3x=−10+5x−3x

0=−10+2x

Add 10 to both sides to eliminate the constant term on the right side.

0+10=−10+2x+10

10=2x

Divide both sides by 2 to get the value of x.

210​=22x​

5=x
