Question 623353
6(x - 1) = 4(x - 2)

6 * x = 6x

6 * -1 = -6

6x - 6 = 4(x - 2)

4 * x = 4x

4 * -2 = -8

6x - 6 = 4x - 8

Subtract 4x from each side of the equation.

6x - 6 - 4x = 4x - 8 - 4x

Combine like terms:

6x - 4x = 2x

4x - 4x = 0

Therefore:

2x - 6 = -8

Add 6 to each side of the equation.

2x - 6 + 6 = -8 + 6

Combine like terms:

-6 + 6 = 0

-8 + 6 = -2

Therefore:

2x = -2

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = -2/2

x = -1

The Answer:

x = -1
