Question

Solve each equation 8-6x=4x+48

Answer 1

x=−4

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

8−6x=4x+48

8+−6x=4x+48

−6x+8=4x+48

Step 2: Subtract 4x from both sides.

−6x+8−4x=4x+48−4x

−10x+8=48

Step 3: Subtract 8 from both sides.

−10x+8−8=48−8

−10x=40

Step 4: Divide both sides by -10.

−10x

−10

=

40

−10

x=−4

Answer 2

x = -4
