Kaylee Hutchinson · Answer 1

The answer is x=6

Kristin · Answer 2

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

1st Divide the numbers: 8/2 = 4

6+4x=5x

2nd Subtract 6 from both sides: 6+4x-6=5x-6

3rd Simplify: 4x=5x-6

4th Subtract 5x from both sides: 4x-5x=5x-6-5x

5th Simplify: - x = - 6

6th Divide both sides by - 1: - x : - 1 = - 6 : - 1

7th Simplify: x = 6
