Question

Solve this equation. 2x+6 = 4x-4

Answer 1

Answer:

here's your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

2x + -6 = 4x + 4

Reorder the terms:

-6 + 2x = 4x + 4

Reorder the terms:

-6 + 2x = 4 + 4x

Solving

-6 + 2x = 4 + 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 = 4 + 4x + -4x

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

-6 + -2x = 4 + 4x + -4x

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

-6 + -2x = 4 + 0

-6 + -2x = 4

Add '6' to each side of the equation.

-6 + 6 + -2x = 4 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0

0 + -2x = 4 + 6

-2x = 4 + 6

Combine like terms: 4 + 6 = 10

-2x = 10

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = -5

Simplifying

x = -5
