Solve the equation. Check the solution.

The value of x is .

Solution:

Given equation:

To find the value of x:

Do cross multiplication.

–2x – 6 = 4x + 16

Add 6 on both sides of the equation.

–2x = 4x + 22

Subtract 4x on both sides of the equation.

–6x = 22

Divide by –6 on both sides of the equation.

Checking:

Substitute x value in left side term.

        = – 6

Substitute x value in right side term.

         = – 6

Hence the value of x is .

answer: 16

step-by-step explanation: first you would add 6+6 which equals 12 then add 2+2 which equals 4. then add 12 + 4 which is 16.

hope this ^_^
