The value of x in the equation is -22

An algebraic equation is a mathematical statement that asserts equality between two algebraic expressions.

It typically contains variables, constants, and mathematical operations.


(x + 4)/(3) - (x - 2)/(2) = 6 \\ multiplying \: both \: sides \: by \: 6 \\2(x + 4) - 3(x - 2) = 36 \\ 2x + 8 - 3x + 6 = 36 \\ collect \: like \: terms \\ - x = 22 \\ x = -22

Therefore the value of x in the equation is -22
