Question

How do you solve this equation? x/2 - x = x/4 + 6

Answer 1

x= - 8

Explanation:

multiply both sides by 4 to get rid of the fractions. you should then get:

2x-4x=x+24

then get all the x terms to one side by subtracting by x on each side:

2x-4x-x=24

then simplify:

-3x=24

divide by -3 on each side:

x= - 8
