Question

X+2=6x-18
Please help, i need to solve for x, and this is really confusing for me.

Answer 1

x=4

Explanation:

Step 1: subtract 1x from both sides. You should get 2=5x-18.

Step 2: add 18 to both sides to get 5x=20.

Step 3: simplify. you should get x=4

Answer 2

You would start by adding the 18 to the 2 to give you 20. then you would subtract x from the 6x to give you 5x. then your equation should be 5x=20, then you divide 20 by 5 and that give you 4. So x would equal 4. x=4
