Question

What is the value of x in the equation 6x-5/2 = 2x+6​

Answer 1

x= 17/8

Explanation:

6x− 5/2=2x+6

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

6x+−5/2=2x+6

Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides.

6x+−5/2−2x=2x+6−2x

4x+−5/2=6

Step 3: Add 5/2 to both sides.

4x+−5/2+5/2=6+5/2

4x=17/2

Step 4: Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4=17/2/4

x=17/8
