Answer:
x=12
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
30 + 4x + 2 = 8 + 6x
Reorder the terms:
30 + 2 + 4x = 8 + 6x
Combine like terms: 30 + 2 = 32
32 + 4x = 8 + 6x
Solving
32 + 4x = 8 + 6x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-6x' to each side of the equation.
32 + 4x + -6x = 8 + 6x + -6x
Combine like terms: 4x + -6x = -2x
32 + -2x = 8 + 6x + -6x
Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0
32 + -2x = 8 + 0
32 + -2x = 8
Add '-32' to each side of the equation.
32 + -32 + -2x = 8 + -32
Combine like terms: 32 + -32 = 0
0 + -2x = 8 + -32
-2x = 8 + -32
Combine like terms: 8 + -32 = -24
-2x = -24
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = 12
Simplifying
x = 12
