Question

Please provide an answer and work on how you got it!!

6 - 3x = 2x - 24

Answer 1

x=6

Explanation:

rearrange terms, subtract 6 from both sides, simplify, subtract 2x from both sides, simplify, divide both sides by -5, and finally you get 6.

Answer 2

x=6

Explanation:

6 - 3x = 2x - 24

move the x together and the numbers together

REMEMBER: when you move a something from one side of the equation (not including multiplication and division) to the other, change the sign in-front of it (+ or -)

NOW CONTINUE WITH THE PROBLEM -->

-3x-2x = -24 - 6

now subtract,

-5x = -30

and divide -30 by -5

Since there are 2 negative numbers, the result would be positive -->

and for x, you would get:

x=6
