4x = 6(x - 4)
x=

Answer 1

Firstly distribute 6 to (x-4)...

Answer 2

once you do that then get the x's on the same side..then divide.

Answer 3

4x=6x-24

Answer 4

then get the x's on one side, so subtract 6x from each side.

Answer 5

Now, subtract 4x both the sides..

Answer 6

thats the part where im stuck at? can someone help draw where im supose to do this step

Answer 7

subtracting 4x would put the variable and numbers on the same side, subtracting 6x will get them on opposite sides and less steps.

Answer 8

Or you can subtract 6x from both the sides also... Do in whatever way you like them most..

Answer 9

See, here Subtracting 6x will look like this:

\[4x - \color{red}{6x} = 6x - 24 - \color{red}{6x}\]
