Question

Just by looking at the question x + 6 + 2x = 2x + 6 + 4 so what does x equal and why?

I need help fast!

Answer 1

x = 4

Explanation:

x + 6 +2x = 2x + 6 + 4

combine like terms:

3x + 6 = 2x + 6 + 4

add numbers:

3x + 6 = 2x + 10

subtract 6 on both sides:

3x + 6 - 6 = 2x + 10 - 6

3x = 2x + 4

subtract 2x from both sides:

3x - 2x = 2x - 2x + 4

x = 4

short explanation:

if you look at the equation, both sides have 6 and 2x which would cancel each other out. That would leave x = 4
