Question

Find the value of x when 6 - 4x= 6x - 8x + 4

Answer 1

x = 1

Explanation:

given the equation

6 - 4x = 6x - 8x + 4 ( collect like terms on right side )

6 - 4x = - 2x + 4 ( add 2x to both sides )

6 - 4x + 2x = - 2x + 2x + 4 ( simplify both sides )

6 - 2x = 4 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

6 - 6 - 2x = 4 - 6 ( simplify both sides )

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

`(-2)/(-2)` x =
`(-2)/(-2)` , that is

x = 1
