Question

In the equation 6x – 2 = –4x + 2, Spencer claims that the first step is to add 4x to both sides. Jeremiah claims that the first step is to subtract 6x from both sides. Who is correct? Explain.

Answer 1

Well, we're trying to simplify the equation, by isolating hte variable, and by isolating, we need to subtract either 6x or add 4x, to get the variable off one side

So, what if both are correct?
