Question

Kassy thinks the value of x is 25°. Is she right? Solve for x:

4x - 6 = 2x + 1°
a) x = 25°
b) x = 15°
c) x = 23°
d) x = 19°

Answer 1

To solve the equation 4x - 6 = 2x + 1°, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. By performing the necessary steps, we find that x is equal to 3.5°.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x in the equation 4x - 6 = 2x + 1°, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. First, let's simplify the equation by subtracting 2x from both sides: 4x - 2x - 6 = 1°. This gives us 2x - 6 = 1°.

Next, let's add 6 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -6: 2x - 6 + 6 = 1° + 6. This simplifies to 2x = 7°.

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x: 2x/2 = 7°/2. This gives us x = 3.5°.
