Answer:

x = 4.5

Explanation:

6x+7=4x+4y

The first step is to simplify the equation by combining the x terms

Subtract 4x from each side

6x-4x +7 = 4x-4x+4y

2x+7 = 4y

We know the y value is 4

Substitute y=4 into the equation

2x+7 = 4(4)

2x+7 =16

Subtract 7 from each side

2x+7-7 =16-7

2x=9

Divide by 2

2x/2 =9/2

x= 4.5
