Question

What is the value of x?
−x = 6 − 4x + 18

Answer 1

I think it is -8

Answer 2

Close, but it would be x=8.

Answer 3

I think you just got a negative mixed up somewhere.

Answer 4

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
−x=6−4x+18
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−x=6−4x+18
Simplify: (Show steps)
−x=−4x+24
Step 2: Add 4x to both sides.
−x+4x=−4x+24+4x
3x=24
Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.
3x/3=24/3
x=8
Answer:
x=8

Answer 5

here you go

Simplifying
2x + 6 = 4x + -2

Reorder the terms:
6 + 2x = 4x + -2

Reorder the terms:
6 + 2x = -2 + 4x

Solving
6 + 2x = -2 + 4x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4x' to each side of the equation.
6 + 2x + -4x = -2 + 4x + -4x

Combine like terms: 2x + -4x = -2x
6 + -2x = -2 + 4x + -4x

Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0
6 + -2x = -2 + 0
6 + -2x = -2

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + -2x = -2 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + -2x = -2 + -6
-2x = -2 + -6

Combine like terms: -2 + -6 = -8
-2x = -8

Divide each side by '-2'.
x = 4

Simplifying
x = 4

Answer 6

x=8 not x=-8
