Question

Look at this equation.
6x - 4= -4(X-5)
What value of x makes the equation true?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Equation 6x - 4= -4(X-5) Remove the brackets

Solution

6x - 4 = -4x + 20 Add 4x to both sides

6x + 4x -4 = -4x+4x + 20 Combine

10x - 4 = 20 Add 4 to both sides

10x - 4 + 4 = 20 + 4 Combine

10x = 24 Divide by 10

10x/10 = 24/10

x = 2.4

Answer: x = 2.4
