Question 86837
Question;


Solve.and check	
   6(2 – x) = 4x


Answer:

	
   6(2 – x) = 4x


Remove the parenthesis...




6 * 2 - 6 * x = 4x


==> 12 - 6x = 4x 



Subtract 12 from both sides....




==> 12 - 6x - 12 = 4x - 12



==> -6x = 4x - 12


Subtract 4x from both sides....



==> -6x - 4x = 4x - 12 - 4x



==> -10 x = -12



Divide both sides by -10



==> {{{ -10x/-10 = -12/-10 }}}




==> {{{ x = 1.2 }}}



To check your solution, substitute the value of x = 1.2 in the givn equation..



6(2 – 1.2) = 4 * 1.2


==> 6 ( 0.8) = 4.8



==> 4.8 = 4.8



That is your answer is correct........





Hope you found the explanation useful.



Warm Regards.
