Answer 3

add 2x on both sides first

Answer 4

so 6x ?

Answer 5

4 and 2x cannot combine as they are not like terms

Answer 6

oh okay so im at loss

Answer 7

km/3 = 4+ 2x
now
subtract 4 from both sides

Answer 8

so 4 and 3 ?

Answer 9

like this

km/3 -4 = 4 +2x -4

Answer 10

since 4-4 = 0
km/3 - 4 = 2x

Answer 11

alright now what? i really dont get this

Answer 12

2 is multiplied with x
so to isolate x
you DIVIDE 2 on both sides

Answer 13

so 2 into km/3?

Answer 14

you main aim was to bring x on one side, and all other terms on other side of "="

so, since 4 was ADDED to 2x, we SUBTRACTED 4 from both sides

since 2 was MULTIPLIED to 'x' , we DIVIDED 2 from both sides

thats how x could get alone on only one side of " = "
