Question

what is -2x-18=-4x-6
need step by step

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed {x = 6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the value of $x$:

$-2x - 18 = -4x - 6$

-Take $4x$ and add it to $-2x$:

$-2x - 18 + 4x = -4x + 4x - 6$

$2x - 18 = -6$

-Add both sides by $18$:

$2x - 18 + 18 = -6 + 18$

$2x = 12$

-Divide both sides by $2$:

$\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{12}{2}$

$\boxed {x = 6}$

Thus, the value of $x$ is $6$.

Answer 2

-2x-18= -4x=6

First, add 4x on both sides

-2x - 18= -4x-6

+ 4x      + 4x

2x-18=-6

Second, add 18 on both sides

2x-18= -6

  +18  +18

2x=12

Last, divide 2 on both sides

2x/2=12/2

x=6
