anonymous · Answer

Lol uhhh

jojo4eva · Answer

the correct way this goes is 3x+6=5x-4

jojo4eva · Answer

you subtract 3x from both sides and you get 6=2x-4. you add 4 to both sides and get 10=2x divide both sides by 2 and you get 5

jojo4eva · Answer

@hmichelle your answer is indeed incorrect. the answer is 5

No problem @Telepoto101 but listen to me next time lol

anonymous · Answer

3x+6=5x-4
add 4 on both sides
3x+10=5x
subtract 3x from both sides
10=2x
divide by 2
5=x
or x=5
