Question

Solve for x. 5x - 6 = 4x + 8

Answer 1

5x - 6 = 4x + 8
-4x        -4x

x - 6 = 8
    +6   +6

x = 14

Answer: x = 14

Answer 2

First let's get X to one side by subtracting 4x from both sides. (5x-4x) -6 = 8. x-6=8. Now we add 6 to both sides to isolate "x". x=8+6=14. Our answer is x=14.
