14
15
26
8

Answer 1

\[\frac{x-6}{4} = 5\]

start by multiply both sides by 4 to get rid of the fraction.

Answer 2

Would I multiply everything by 4?

Answer 3

yes - you always have to do the same on both sides of the equal sign, so

\[(4) * (\frac{x-6}{4}) = 5 * 4\]

now you can cancel the 4 on the left side, and you are left with
x - 6 = ....

Answer 4

x-6=20
x=24?

Answer 5

26*

Answer 6

no
x - 6 = 20,

what do you do on the left side to 'get rid' of the (-6) ?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8
