Question

Solve x for 8x+48=15x+6

Answer 1

Simplifying
52 + 8x + -48 = 15x + 13

Reorder the terms:
52 + -48 + 8x = 15x + 13

Combine like terms: 52 + -48 = 4
4 + 8x = 15x + 13

Reorder the terms:
4 + 8x = 13 + 15x

Solving
4 + 8x = 13 + 15x

Answer 2

First we move the term: 8x - 15x = 6 - 48

-7x = -42

Divide both sides by -7

x = 6
