Question

Solve 6x - 2 = 4x + 13 for x.

15/2
11/2
3/12

Answer 1

start by adding 2 to each side

Answer 2

First you bring all the terms with x together.

Answer 3

so 6x+4x?

Answer 4

6x -2 = 4x + 13

So we want to bring 6x and 4x at one side together and the rest of terms together at another side.

So, it will become 6x-4x = 13 +2

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7

You added 6x and 4x, look carefully. It's -4x so you need to subtract 4x from 6x

Answer 8

Answer 9

Yes, in the final step divide both sides with 2

Answer 10

so it would be 15/2 :)
