Question

What is -2x-18=-4x-6
need step by step

Answer 1

-2x-18= -4x=6

First, add 4x on both sides

-2x - 18= -4x-6

+ 4x + 4x

2x-18=-6

Second, add 18 on both sides

2x-18= -6

+18 +18

2x=12

Last, divide 2 on both sides

2x/2=12/2

x=6

Answer 2

`\boxed {x = 6}`

Explanation:

Solve for the value of
`x`:

`-2x - 18 = -4x - 6`

-Take
`4x` and add it to
`-2x`:

`-2x - 18 + 4x = -4x + 4x - 6`

`2x - 18 = -6`

-Add both sides by
`18`:

`2x - 18 + 18 = -6 + 18`

`2x = 12`

-Divide both sides by
`2`:

`(2x)/(2) = (12)/(2)`

`\boxed {x = 6}`

Thus, the value of
`x` is
`6`.
