Question

What is the value of x? 6x - 6 = 3x + 10

Answer 1

To find the value of x, first subtract 3x from both sides to get the variable on one side.

6x-6=3x+10

6x-3x-6=3x-3x+10

3x-6=10

Then add 6 on both sides.

3x-6+6=10+6

3x=16

Divide both sides by 3 to find x.

`(3x)/(3)`=
`(16)/(3)`

Therefore, x =
`(16)/(3)` or 5.3.
