Question

What belongs in the box marked with the question mark in the proof? Given: 4x + 1 = 6x - 2, Prove: x = 3/2

Answer 1

We have the following expression:
 4x + 1 = 6x - 2
 We clear x of the expression.
 We pass the variables to the right and the constant terms to the left:
 1 + 2 = 6x-4x
 We rewrite the expression:
 3 = 2x
 We passed the 2 to divide:
 3/2 = x
 Answer:
 The value of x is:
 x = 3/2
