Math Problem Statement

3x6=5x+63x-6=5x+6

Solution

To solve the equation 3x6=5x+63x - 6 = 5x + 6, we can follow these steps:

  1. Move all terms involving xx to one side of the equation and constant terms to the other side.
    Subtract 3x3x from both sides to get: 6=5x3x+6-6 = 5x - 3x + 6

  2. Simplify the equation.
    Combine like terms: 6=2x+6-6 = 2x + 6

  3. Isolate the xx term.
    Subtract 6 from both sides: 66=2x-6 - 6 = 2x 12=2x-12 = 2x

  4. Solve for xx.
    Divide both sides by 2: x=6x = -6

The solution to the equation is x=6x = -6.

Would you like more details or have any questions?

Here are five related questions to consider:

  1. How do you check if x=6x = -6 is the correct solution for the equation?
  2. What happens if you move 5x5x to the left side of the equation instead?
  3. How would the solution change if the equation were 3x6=5x63x - 6 = 5x - 6?
  4. What if the equation had more variables or more complex terms?
  5. How can you graphically represent this equation and its solution?

Tip: Always double-check your solution by substituting it back into the original equation to verify that both sides are equal.
