Question

Can someone help me with this math homework please!

Answer 1

Both, Spencer and Jeremiah are correct. We can verify this by testing their methods.

Spencer's method:

`6x - 2 = - 4x + 2`

`6x - 2 + 4x= - 4x + 2 + 4x`

`10x - 2 = 2`

`10x = 2 + 2`

`10x = 4`

`x = (4)/(10)`

`x = 0.4`

Jeremiah's method:

`6x - 2 = - 4x + 2`

`6x - 2 - 6x = - 4x + 2 - 6x`

`- 2 = - 10x + 2`

`- 2 - 2 = - 10x`

`- 4 = - 10x`

`( - 4)/( - 10) = x`

`0.4 = x`

As seen, we get the correct answer by using Spencer's and Jeremiah's method. So, we can say that they both are correct.

Answer 2

See step by Step

Explanation:

Both are correct. As long as we undo the operations that was given from the original term to both sides until we get the variable by itself., any way can be applied.
