Answer:

x = 5

Explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

5x - 6 = 3x + 4

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Subtract 3x on both sides: 2x - 6 = 4
  2. Add 6 to both sides: 2x = 10
  3. Divide both sides by 2: x = 5

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it's a solution.

5(5) - 6 = 3(5) + 4

25 - 6 = 15 + 4

19 = 19
