What is (6x+4) - (4x+2)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nana76 [90]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Simplifying

6x + 4 = 4x + 2

2. Reorder the terms

4 + 6x = 4x + 2 to 4 + 6x = 2 + 4x

3. Solving

4 + 6x = 2 + 4x

4. Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Then add '-4x' to each side of the equation.

4 + 6x + -4x = 2 + 4x + -4x

5. Combine like terms: 6x + -4x = 2x

4 + 2x = 2 + 4x + -4x

6. Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0

4 + 2x = 2 + 0

4 + 2x = 2

7. Add '-4' to each side of the equation.

4 + -4 + 2x = 2 + -4

8. Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0

0 + 2x = 2 + -4

2x = 2 + -4

9. Combine like terms: 2 + -4 = -2

2x = -2

10. Divide each side by '2'.

x = -1

11. Simplifying

x = -1

How do you solve 2x^2 - 7x -5= 0 in quadratic form?
lesantik [10]

Answer:

Once the equation is in standard form, factor the quadratic expression. 2x2 + 7x + 3 = 0 (2x + 1)(x + 3) = 0. Using the Zero Product Property set ...

2x2 + 7x = -3

2x2 + 7x + 3 = 0

Once the equation is in standard form, factor the quadratic expression.

2x2 + 7x + 3 = 0

(2x + 1)(x + 3) = 0

Using the Zero Product Property set each factor equal to 0 and solve for x.

2x + 1 = 0  

2x + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1 x + 3 = 0

2x = -1 x + 3 - 3 = 0 - 3

2x 2 = -1 2 x = -3

x = -1 2  

The solutions to the equation are -1 2 and -3.
