Answer 1

These two lines are congruent (the same) so we can set them equal to each other and solve.

5x-4=3x+6

The first thing we need to do is subtract 3x from both sides leaving us with 2x-4=6

Now we can add 4 to both sides leaving us with 2x=2

Now we need to divide both sides by 2 to get x alone.

Giving us our final answer of x=1
