Question

(6x - 3)= (4x + 33). What is the value of x?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(6x-3)=(4x+33)

Combine like terms,

Subtract 4x on both sides and add 3 to both sides

2x=36

Divide by 2 on both sides

X=18

Answer 2

In order to solve for x, we can do the following:

6x - 3 = 4x + 33

6x - 3 + 3 = 4x + 33 + 3 (Add 3 to both sides)

6x = 4x + 36 (-3 + 3 = 0; 33 + 3 = 36)

6x - 4x = 4x + 36 - 4x (Subtract 4x from both sides)

2x = 36 (6x - 4x = 2x; 4x - 4x = 0)

2x/2 = 36/2 (Divide both sides by 2)

x = 18 (2x/2 = x; 36/2 = 18)

Thus, the value of x is 18.
