Question

If 6x-1 = 4x+6 what is the value of x

Answer 1

x=7/2

Explanation:

6x - 1 = 4x + 6

+ 1 + 1

6x = 4x + 7

-4x -4x

2x = 7

/ /

2 2

x= 7/2

Answer 2

Explanation:

First you need to remove the constants. First add 1 on each side of the equation because what is done to one side you must do to the other:

6x-1+1 = 4x+6 + 1

6x = 4x + 7

Then you need to subtract 4x on both sides.

6x-4x=4x-4x+7

2x = 7

Then you need to divide by 2 on both sides:

(2/2)x = (7/2)

x = 7/2
