5X - 4 = 2X + 6
subtract 2X from each side
5X - 2X - 4 = 2X - 2X + 6
3X - 4 = 6
add 4 to both sides
3X - 4 + 4 = 6 + 4
3X = 10
divide both sides integers by 3
(3/3)X = 10/3
X = 10/3
==========check in original equation
5(10/3) - 4 = 2(10/3) + 6
50/3 - 4 = 20/3 + 6
Now, fraction manipulation comes in handy here
you should know, - 4 = - 12/3 and 6 = 18/3, so
50/3 - 12/3 = 20/3 + 18/3
38/3 = 38/3
==========checks and is a good fraction exercise
-2x-6= -2x-6Another answer:-2x-6 = 2x+6-2x-2x = 6+6-4x = 12x = -3
2x-11
5 - 2x = 8 x = -1 and 1/2 4x = 6 x = 6/4 or 3/2
4x+35-2x+25 = 6 2x+60 = 6 2x = 6-60 2x = -54 x = -27
2x+2=x+6 first subtract 2x. -2x -2x2=-1x+6 then subtract 6-6 -6-4=-1x finally divide by -1x=4 X equals four.

8x-7 plus 2x equals 6 plus 5x plus 2?

6 + 2x = 5x + 9 , 6 - 9 = 5x - 2x , -3 = 3x , x = -1
22+2x = 37+6+x 2x-x = 37+6-22 x = 21
2x + 1 = 6 2x = 5 x = 5/2 or 2.5
