Question

Solve for x -

`\sf 6+4x+3=6x-21`

Answer 1

6 + 4x + 3 = 6x - 21

We minus (4x+3) on both side.

6 + 4x + 3 - (4x+3) = 6x - 21 - (4x + 3)

6 = 2x - 24
2x = 30
x = 15.

Recheck : 6 + 60 + 3 = 90 - 21
69 = 69 (nice.)

Answer 2

x = 15

Explanation:

Let's start by copying down the equation.

6 + 4x + 3 = 6x - 21

Let's simplify this equation and we get,

4x + 9 = 6x - 21

Now, we can add 21 to both sides to isolate 6x on one side. Then, we get...

4x + 30 = 6x

Now, we minus 4x from both sides to get rid of it.

Then we get...

2x = 30

Thus, x = 15
