Question

.

Answer 1

how did you get 5 ??
and you can check your answer by plugging 5 into x if you get both side equal then your answer is PERFECT!

Answer 2

Yeah that's what I initially did. I plugged it in.

Answer 3

\[\huge\rm 6(\color{red}{x}+4) = 3(4\color{red}{x} -2)\]
\[\rm\color{red}x = 5\]
replace x by 5 what do you get at right and left side ?

Answer 4

I was given a few answers to pick from and plugged them all in but I wouldn't know how to do it it I was given choices.

Answer 5

on the left I get 9 and on the right I get 18?

Answer 6

nope try again

Answer 7

Oh wait (I'm trying to think back how it was explained and I got it right yesterday)

Answer 8

You are correct in x=5

Answer 9

Okay my notes: this is how I did it yesterday.

6x + 24 = 12x - 6

6x + 24 = 12x - 6

6x + 24 - 12x = 12x - 6 - 12x

-6x + 24 = -6

-6x + 24 - 24 = -6 - 24

-6x = -30

then divide both sides by -6 so...

Answer 10

-6x/-6 = -30/-6

which = 5


Idk... if that's right but it makes sense ish...

Answer 11

yep that's right :-)
so you can check your answer by urself :-) replace x by 5 \[\huge\rm 6(\color{red}{5}+4) = 3(4\color{red}{(5)} -2)\]
\[\rm\color{red}x = 5\]

Answer 12

solve left and right side

Answer 13

I'm just getting 54 though.

Answer 14

yes left side 54 and right side 54
\[\huge\rm 6(\color{red}{5}+4) = 3(4\color{red}{(5)} -2)\]
\[\huge\rm 6 (9) = 3(20-2)\]
\[54 = 3(18)\]
\[\huge\rm 54 = 54\]
both side equal that's mean your answer is right :-)if both side are not equal then answer is wrong :-)
gO_Od work!

Answer 15

Oh I see why do I have to go back to the (20-2)? It makes sense though, thanks.

Answer 16

www.mathpapa.com that should help

Answer 17

i did step by step you have to distribute 5 by 4 \[\huge\rm 6(\color{red}{5}+4) = 3(4\color{red}{(5)} -2)\]
\[\huge\rm 6 (9) = 3(20-2)\]
\[54 = 3(18)\]
\[\huge\rm 54 = 54\]
both side equal that's mean your answer is right :-)if both side are not equal then answer is wrong :-)
