Question

11. 4x – 6 - 3x = 2 + 5x PLEASE HELP! It has to equal 2 -4 -6 -3 or 7! I've tried many times trying to find the value of x!​

Answer 1

x = -2

Explanation:

4x - 6 - 3x = 2 + 5x

subtract 5x on both sides

4x - 6 - 3x - 5x = 2

combine like terms on the left side

-3x - 5x + 4x = -4x

-4x - 6 = 2

add 6 on both sides

-4x = 8

divide each side by -4

x = - 2

Answer 2

x = -2

Explanation:

4x -6 - 3x = 2 + 5x

4x - 3x -6 = 2 + 5x

1x - 6 = 2 + 5x

-1x = -1x

-6 = 2 + 4x

-2 =-2 + 4x

-8 = 4x

-- = --

4 4

-2 = ×
