Question

Can someone help me with this problem? thank you!

Answer 1

x is 2

Explanation:

Simplify equation

What happens to one side must happen to the other

Add 4 to both sides

This tells us 6x is 12

Divide both sides by 6

X is 2

Answer 2

When 6x - 4 = 8, x = 2.

Explanation:

6x - 4 = 8

Add 4 to both sides.

6x = 12

Divide both sides by 6.

x = 2

Proof:

6x - 4 = 8

Substitute variable.

6(2) - 4 = 8

Multiply 6 and 2.

12 - 4 = 8

Subtract 4 from 12.

8 = 8
