what is it then?

anonymous · Answer

i dont really understand these type of questions

zzr0ck3r · Answer

then you need to go back and figure out what you missed, this is pretty much every type of question. This question was supposed to be easy after you figure out how to put the words into an equation, and I did that part for you. You need to learn to solve stuff like this. I can help you do this, but I am not so sure that will benefit you.

subtract 3x on both sides, then add 4 to both sides

im homeschooled on the computer and i dont get any help at home so if i dont understand something im screwed

anonymous · Answer

okay so if i subtract 3x from each side it leaves me with 6=2x-4 and then i add 4 to both sides which leaves me with 10= 2x-8 right? @zzr0ck3r
