does x=1.6 satisfy the equation 6-4x=-x/4? explain

Plug 1.6 in for x to see if it is correct:

6 - 4x = - x/4

6 - 4 (1.6) = - (1.6) / 4 (divide - 1.6 and 4)

6-4 (1.6) = - 0.4 (multiply 1.6 and - 4)

6-6.4 = - 0.4 (subtract 6 and 6.4)

-0.4=-0.4

-0.4 does equal - 0.4. so that means that x does equal 1.6.
