Question

3. If 6x + 4 = 20 − 2x, then x = ? a. 2 b. 6 c. 8 d. 16 e. 24

Answer 1

Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

Your goal is to isolate the variable(x). If you subtract 4 from the left side and right side, then you are left with , 6x=16-2x. Then you add 2x to both sides to get 8x=16. Lastly divide both sides by 8 to get x=2. Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

$6x+4=20-2x$

Add 2 to each side

$8x+4=20$

Subtract 4 from each side

$8x=16$

Divide 8 by each side

$x=2$
