Question

What is the answer for3+2x=-6x+4

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = 1/8$ or in decimal form $x = 0.125$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Subtract 4 from both sides

$3 + 2x - 4 = -6x + 4 - 4$

$2x - 1 = -6x$

Step 2:  Subtract 2x from both sides

$2x - 1 - 2x = -6x - 2x$

$-1 = -8x$

Step 3:  Divide both sides by -8

$-1 / -8 = -8x / -8$

$1/8 = x$

$x = 0.125$

Answer:  $x = 1/8$ or in decimal form $x = 0.125$
