What is the value of x in the equation below? 4x − 8 = 6x + 16

x=-12

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-8=6x+16

-4x

-8=2x+16

-16

-24=2x/2

4x - 8 = 6x + 16

Separate all the terms with x's on to one side and all the terms without x's to the other side:

(4x - 8) - 6x + 8= (6x + 16) - 6x + 8

4x - 6x + (8 - 8) = 16 + 8 + (6x - 6x)

4x - 6x = 16 + 8

-2x = 24 (Get rid of the number in front of x)

-2x/-2 = 24/-2

x = - 12

since proposition states that a number is greater than 25, if is true then the number must actually be greater than 25.

this implies that all possible options, except 24, can be accepted

the equation for this situation is y=122+45. to solve the equation you would add 45 and 122 to get a total of 167lbs. in conclusion, grace's weight eight weeks ago was 167lbs.
