Question

Solve the following equations
1. 4(x – 2) = 6(4 – x)

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x – 2) = 6(4 – x)

4x - 8 = 24 - 6x

10x - 8 = 24

10x = 32

x = 3.2

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is 16/5 in fraction form.

Step-by-step explanation:

When using distributive property the following equation can be found: 4x-8=24-6x

We can change this to 4x-8=-6x+24 (You do not have to, it is a preference for me).

Now we solve for x.

4x=-6x+32

10x=32

Divide both numbers by 10.

x=32/10

Simplified form is: 16/5
