Question

Solve the equation:

5x-2=X+4

Answer 1

x = 3/2

Explanation:

5x-2=x+4 (add 2 to both sides)

5x=x+4 + 2

5x=x+6 (subtract x from both sides)

5x - x = 6

4x = 6 (divide both sides by 4)

x = 6/4 = 3/2

Answer 2

Answer: x = 1.5

Explanation:

5x - 2 = x + 4

Add 2 to each side

5x = x + 6

Subtract x from each side

4x = 6

Divide each side by 4

x = 1.5
