Question

4x+15=6x-5 solve for x

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Breaking down the equation

$4x+15=6x-5\\4x+15-15=6x-5-15\\4x=6x-20\\4x-6x=6x-20-6x\\-2x=-20\\\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{-20}{-2}$

Simplification

$\frac{-2x}{-2}\\=\frac{2x}{2} (\frac{-x}{-y} = \frac{x}{y})\\\frac{2}{2} = 1 = x\\\\\frac{-20}{-2}\\=\frac{20}{2}\\\frac{20}{2}\\=10$

Answer 2

Answer:

x=-10

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

• Subtract 6x from both sides.

$\leadsto\boldsymbol{4x+15=6x-5}$

$\leadsto\boldsymbol{-2x+15=-5}$

• Subtract 15 from both sides.

$\leadsto\boldsymbol{-2x=-20}$

$\leadsto\boldsymbol{x=-10}$

Have a nice day! :)
