Math Problem Statement

-2c+4x=-6, for x

Solution

We are given the equation:

2c+4x=6-2c + 4x = -6

To solve for xx, follow these steps:

  1. Isolate the term with xx:

    4x=6+2c4x = -6 + 2c

  2. Solve for xx by dividing both sides by 4:

    x=6+2c4x = \frac{-6 + 2c}{4}

  3. Simplify the expression if possible:

    x=64+2c4x = \frac{-6}{4} + \frac{2c}{4} x=32+c2x = -\frac{3}{2} + \frac{c}{2}

Thus, the solution is:

x=c232x = \frac{c}{2} - \frac{3}{2}

Here are 5 related questions you could explore:

  1. How would the solution change if the equation was 2c+5x=6-2c + 5x = -6?
  2. What if the constant on the right side was a different number, like 10-10?
  3. How can you check if the solution is correct for specific values of cc?
  4. What if we had 2c4x=6-2c - 4x = -6? How would the steps change?
  5. How would the solution change if the coefficient of xx was negative?

Tip: Always simplify the expression as much as possible when solving for a variable.
