I think Hannapults is the best name ever. Anyways onto the math!! We can distribute the 4 and -2. Our new equation:

4x-24=-2x-6

Does this make sense so far?

anonymous · Answer

yes i think so, and thankyou, i like you name too

:D Anyways, its the rule that you can only have and x on one side of the equation. Because it's easier to add I'll add 2x to the right side of  our equation HOWEVER since it's equal you'll need to add 2 to the other side too. so our equation is now

4x+2x-24=-2x-6+2x

Solving this gives us

6x-24=-6

Still understanding?

anonymous · Answer

yep, you make it sound so easy, lol xD

anonymous · Answer

xD It'll get easy. It took me a week to understand this. Anyways, now that we have only a number on the right side we can remove our -24 from the left side. But it's still even, so we have to add it to the right side too.

6x-24+24=-6+24

Our new equation is

6x=18

Can you do the last step or is it still unclear?
