Question

Solve −6x − 6 = −4x + 8 for x. x = −5 x = 5 x = −7 x = 7

Answer 1

X = -7

Explanation:

First of all we will re-arrange the equation

-6x + 4x = 8 + 6

Now simplify

-2x = 14

x = - 7

Answer 2

x = - 7

Explanation:

- 6x - 6 = - 4x + 8 ( add 4x to both sides )

- 2x - 6 = 8 ( add 6 to both sides )

- 2x = 14 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = - 7
