Question

6x+4=4x-3

Answer 1

6x+4=4x-3
6x-4x=-3-4
2x=-7
x=-7/2
=-3.5

Answer 2

With these problems, it's best to put all x terms on one side, and all non-x terms on the other.
\[6x-4x = -3 - 4\]Then combine like terms:\[2x=-7\]And now solve for x by dividing both sides by 2:\[x = -7/2\]
A way to double check yourself is by substituting your answer (x = 7/2) back into the original problem:\[6(-7/2)+4=4(-7/2)-3\]\[(-42/2)+4 = (-28/2) - 3\]\[-21+4 = -14 - 3\]\[-17 = -17\]This shows that you found the right answer.

Answer 3

Sorry, when I said "A way to double check yourself is by substituting your answer (x = 7/2) back into the original problem:" it should be x = -7/2 not x = 7/2
