Answer: Simplifying
4x + 50 = 6x + 20
Reorder the terms:
50 + 4x = 6x + 20
Reorder the terms:
50 + 4x = 20 + 6x
Solving
50 + 4x = 20 + 6x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-6x' to each side of the equation.
50 + 4x + -6x = 20 + 6x + -6x
Combine like terms: 4x + -6x = -2x
50 + -2x = 20 + 6x + -6x
Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0
50 + -2x = 20 + 0
50 + -2x = 20
Add '-50' to each side of the equation.
50 + -50 + -2x = 20 + -50
Combine like terms: 50 + -50 = 0
0 + -2x = 20 + -50
-2x = 20 + -50
Combine like terms: 20 + -50 = -30
-2x = -30
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = 15
Simplifying
x = 15
