Math Problem Statement

6-2x=6x+6

Solution

Let's solve the equation 62x=6x+66 - 2x = 6x + 6.

Step 1: Get all the terms involving xx on one side

Add 2x2x to both sides: 6=8x+66 = 8x + 6

Step 2: Isolate the xx term

Subtract 6 from both sides: 0=8x0 = 8x

Step 3: Solve for xx

Divide both sides by 8: x=0x = 0

So, the solution is x=0x = 0.

Would you like any further details or explanations on how this was solved? Here are some follow-up questions related to this problem:

  1. What happens if we change the equation to 62x=6x+86 - 2x = 6x + 8?
  2. How would you solve the equation 62x=6x+66 - 2x = -6x + 6?
  3. What does it mean when the solution to an equation is x=0x = 0?
  4. How can you check if your solution to the equation is correct?
  5. What is the next step if the equation had no solutions?

Tip: Always check your solution by substituting it back into the original equation to ensure it satisfies the equation.
