Question

For which value of x is the equation 4x + 24 = 8x + 2x true?

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

$4x+24=8x+2x$

We'll combine the $8x$ and the $2x$ on the right side.

$4x+24=10x$

Now, we'll subtract $4x$ from both sides.

$24=6x$

Divide both sides by $6$.

$4=x$

Ta-da!

Answer 2

Answer: d.) 4

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 24 = 8x+ 2x

4x + 24 = 10x

4x - 10x = -24

-6x = -24 --> x=4
