hello

@smarie96 We have
$$6x-7=4x+23$$
If we want x on the left side, we have to add 7 both sides and subtract 4x from both sides.
$$6x-7+7=4x+23+7$$
$$6x+0=4x+30$$
Subtract 4x from both sides
$$6x-4x=4x+30-4x$$
$$2x=30$$
Do you understand this?

@smarie96 Are you here?

yes thank you

ash2326 · Answer

There is one more way we could bring x on the right side. In that case we'll subtract 26 from both sides

anonymous · Answer

okay so if both sides are addition i just subtract both sides?

ash2326 · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

so for example if its like x+7=2x+14 i would subtract seven from both sides so it would look like 
x+7-7=2x+14-7
x+0=2x+7
X+0-2=7
x=7?

ash2326 · Answer

First step is right
$$x=2x+7$$
Now subtract 2x from both the sides

anonymous · Answer

so the answer is 7 right? so all i need to change is subtract and not add the 2x

ash2326 · Answer

$$x-2x=2x-2x+7$$
$$-x=7$$
$$x=??$$
