Question

If 6x +3= 2x+ 19, then x =

Answer 1

x = 4

Explanation:

6x + 3 = 2x + 19 ------ subtract 3 both sides

6x + 3 - 3 = 2x + 19 - 3 simplify

6x = 2x + 16 ------ subtract 2x both sides

6x - 2x = 2x + 16 - 2x simplify

4x = 16

x = 16 / 4

x = 4

Answer 2

Answer: x = 4

Step-by-step explanation: If the variable appears on both sides of the equation, we put the variables together on one side of the equation and the numbers together on the other side of the equation.

So let's put our variables on the left side by first subtracting

2x from both sides of the equation to get 4x + 3 = 19.

Next, we subtract 3 from both sides to get 4x = 16.

Finally, we divide both sides by 4 to get x = 4.
