(x-2)=4x for x
OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):
Are you stating that 2/3 is your answer? because you are almost correct
x - 2 = 4x ...solve for x
we subtract x from both sides
x - 2 = 4x
-x -x
-2 = 3x
and to isolate 'x'...we find that the answer is...?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it 2/5
OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):
not quite....
When we are down to
-2 = 3x
we want to isolate 'x'...and we do this by dividing everything by 3...
because 3x / 3 = x right?
so when we do that
-2 = 3x
--------
3 3
we find that
-2/3 = x
x = -2/3

if -2/3 isn't an answer choice, then there has to be a typo somewhere
