Question

For the equation, 2x + 6 = 3x - 10, what is the solution

Answer 1

Answer: x=16

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x+6=3x-10$

Subtract 6 on both sides

$2x+6-6=3x-10-6$

$2x=3x-16$

Subtract 3x on both sides

$2x-3x=3x-16-3x$

$-x=-16$

Divide -1 on both sides

$\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{-16}{-1}$

$x=16$
