Question

What is the solution to the equation -4 + 6(x - 2) = 15?

Answer 1

Basically we are finding x so:

-4 + 6(x - 2) = 15

-4 + 6x - 12 = 15

Answer 2

the answer is a fraction

Answer 3

Now, add 4 to both sides:

-4 + 4 + 6x - 12 = 15 + 4

6x - 12 = 19

Add 12 now:

6x - 12 + 12 = 19 + 12

6x = 31

Answer 4

Then the solution will be a decimal which we will convert into a fraction.

Answer 5

6x = 31

6x/6 = 31/6

x = 5.16667
