Question

What is the solution for the equation 6x - 8 = 4x? x =

Answer 1

x = 4.

Explanation:

6x - 8 = 4x

6x - 4x - 8 = 0

6x - 4x = 8

2x = 8

x = 4.

Answer 2

x = 4

Explanation:

6x - 8 = 4x

subtract 4x from both sides of the equation

6x - 4x -8 = 4x - 4x

2x - 8 = 0

add 8 to both sides of the equation

2x - 8 + 8 = 0 + 8

2x = 8

divide both sides of the equation by 2

2x/2 = 8/2

x = 4
