Question

Solve the equation

6x − 4 = 8x − 9
a. 2.5 c. 3
b. 3.5 d. 1.5

Answer 1

a. 2.5

Explanation:

First you have to get the x variable alone on one side of the equation. Once you do this, you need to simplify the equation. Once you do this, it should come up as 2x=5. Then you need to simplify this, which will give you your answer. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

A

Explanation:

You would first subtract 6x from both sides which will give you something like:

-4= 2x - 9

then you would add 9 on both sides which would give you

5 = 2x

which now you would divide 2 by both sides with would give you

5/2 = x

simplify it one more time

2.5 = x
