Question

What is the solution to the equation?

4x – 6 = –3x + 8

A. 14


B. 7/2


C. 2/7


D. 2

Answer 1

4x - 6=-3x + 8
First, we will add 3x to both sides
4x - 6 + 3x = -3x + 8 + 3x or 7x - 6= 8
Next we will add 6 to both sides, giving us
7x = 14
Finally, we will divide both sides by 7, giving us
x=2, so the answer is D.
