If you simplify both sides, it shows that 23x+2=63x+6. If you cancel out the x, it shows that 2=40x+6. If you cancel out the numbers it shows that -4=40x. Divide all sides to show that -1/10=x.

Answer:


x = - (1)/(10)

Explanation:

23x +2 = 15x+48x+6

To solve for x group like terms

That's

Send the constants to the right side of the equation and those with variables to the left side

We have

23x - 15x - 48x = 6 - 2

Simplify

- 40x = 4

Divide both sides by -40


( - 40x)/( - 40) = (4)/( - 40)

We have the final answer as


x = - (1)/(10)

Hope this helps you
