Question

48 = 4x – 2 + 6x



Need help ASAP

Answer 1

`\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{x = 5}}}}}`

Explanation:

`\sf{48 = 4x - 2 + 6x}`

Collect like terms

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{48 = 10x - 2}}`

Swap the sides of the equation

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{10x - 2 = 48}}`

Move 2 to right hand side and change it's sign

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{10x = 48 + 2}}`

Add the numbers: 48 and 2

`\longrightarrow {\sf{10x = 50 }}`

Divide both sides by 10

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{ (10x)/(10) = (50)/(10)}}`

Calculate

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{x = 5}}`

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D

Answer 2

x= 5

Explanation:

48 = 4x – 2 + 6x

Combine like terms

48 = 10x-2

Add 2 to each side

48+2 = 10x-2+2

50 = 10x

Divide by 10

50/10 = 10x/10

5 =x
