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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nana76 [90]2 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
