Question

Jamal uses the steps below to solve the equation 6x – 4 = 8.\

Answer 1

Add 4 to both sides

6x = 8 + 4

Simplify 8 + 4 to 12

6x = 12

Divide both sides by 6

x = 12/6

Simplify 12/6 to 2

x = 2

Answer 2

x = 2

Explanation:

What you have to do is add 4 to -4 and 8 which will leave you with 6x = 12. What you do now is divide 6x/6 and 12/6 and you get: x = 2
