4x-5=6+3x We will be solving for X :) To get x by itself you will have to add both sides by 5 this will cancel it out from the left side and transfer it to the right Original: 4x-5=6+3x 4x=6+3x+5 Add 6 and 5 to simplify 4x=3x+11 Now you will subtract 3x from both sides so x can be on one side X=11 hope that helps if you want to check if this is correct you can plug in x in the original equation 4x-5=6+3x 4 (11)-5=6+3 (11) 44-5=6+33 39=39 solution for X holds true
