Renee must solve the equation 4x+12=6x.
If she subtracts 4x from the left side of the equation, what should renee write on the right side of the equation?
6x - 4x = 2x
i do not understand how to do this. can you please explain.
ok i understand now thank you.
:-) You're welcome
To solve the equation 4x + 12 = 6x, Renee needs to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation. If she subtracts 4x from the left side of the equation, she needs to perform the same operation on the right side in order to maintain the equality.
So, when Renee subtracts 4x from the left side, she should also subtract 4x from the right side of the equation:
4x + 12 - 4x = 6x - 4x
Simplifying the equation:
12 = 2x
Therefore, Renee would write "2x" on the right side of the equation after subtracting 4x from the left side.
4x+12=6x.
4x - 4x + 12 = 6x - 4x
12 = 2x
12/2 = x
6 = x
