Question

What is the solution for the equation 6x − 8 = 4x? x = ___. (Input whole number only). (5 points)

Answer 1

6x-8=4x

Bring over 4x to the other side of the equation

2x-8=0

2x=8

x=4

Answer 2

x = 4

Explanation:

6x - 8 = 4x

Bringing all the x's to one side and the whole number to the other,

6x - 4x = 8

2x = 8

Therefore, x = 4
