Question

Solve for x.

4(x+3) = 6x+6

Simplify your answer as much as possible.

X= ?

Answer 1

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

x+3=(6x+6)/4

x+3=1.5x+1.5

x=1.5x-1.5

-.5x=-1.5

-1x=3

x=-3

Answer 2

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Subtract 4x from both sides

    12=6x+6−4x

2.  Simplify  6x+6-4x to 2x+6

    12=2x+6

3. Subtract 6 from both sides

    12−6=2x

4. Simplify 12-6 to 6

    6=2x

5. Divide both sides by 2

    6/2=x

6. Simplify 6/2 to 3

7. x=3
