Question

What does x = when 2x + 6 = 6x-2

Answer 1

we are given

$2x+6=6x-2$

we will isolate x

so, firstly we will move all x terms on any one side

We will add both sides 2

$2x+6+2=6x-2+2$

$2x+8=6x$

now, we can subtract both sides 2x

$2x+8-2x=6x-2x$

$8=4x$

$4x=8$

now, we can divide both sides by 4

and we get

$x=2$......Answer

Answer 2

when 2x+6=6x-2, x=2. :) Hope this helps.
