You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your steps are correct, you are not watching your signs;
\n" ); document.write( "6x-24+4x= -2x +6
\n" ); document.write( "you are going to add the 6x + 4x; the minus sign goes with the 24, not the 4. The 4 is positive.
\n" ); document.write( "10x-24= -2x+ 6
\n" ); document.write( "Then you should have added the 2x to both sides, it is a negative 2, so you need to add to cancel it out;
\n" ); document.write( "12x-24=6
\n" ); document.write( "+24 +24
\n" ); document.write( "you would add 24 to both sides since it is negative;
\n" ); document.write( "12x = 30
\n" ); document.write( "The answer is a mixed fraction;
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"30%2F12\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"2%281%2F5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "CHECK:
\n" ); document.write( "6x-24+4x= -2x +6
\n" ); document.write( "\"6%2830%2F12%29-24+%2B+4%2830%2F12%29=+-2%2830%2F12%29%2B6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28180%2F12%29-24%2B%28120%2F12%29=%28-60%2F12%29%2B6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28300%2F12%29-24=%28-60%2F12%29%2B6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28300%2F12%29%2B+%2860%2F12%29+=+6+%2B24\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28360%2F12%29=+30\"
\n" ); document.write( "30 = 30
\n" ); document.write( ":)
