Question

Pls help me solve for x. And thank you so much

Answer 1

x=11

Explanation:

given -2 + 4x = 6(x-4) the objective is to get the variable (x) on one side and the constant on the other using inverse operations

-2 + 4x = 6(x-4)

step 1 distribute the 6 to x and -4

6*x=6x

6*-4=-24

now we have

-2 + 4x = 6x - 24

step 2 add 24 to each side

-2+24=22

-24+24 cancels out

now we have 22+4x=6x

now we want to get rid of the 4x

to do so we subtract 4x from each side

4x-4x cancels out

6x-4x=2x

now we have

2x = 22

step 4 divide each side by 2

22/2=11

2x/2=x

we're left with x = 11
