Math Problem Statement

4 $$$$ x+5-2x+6=3x-4

Solution

The equation given is:

4x+52x+6=3x44x + 5 - 2x + 6 = 3x - 4

Let's simplify it step-by-step:

  1. Combine like terms on the left side: (4x2x)+(5+6)=3x4(4x - 2x) + (5 + 6) = 3x - 4 2x+11=3x42x + 11 = 3x - 4

  2. Move all terms involving xx to one side and constant terms to the other: 2x3x=4112x - 3x = -4 - 11 x=15-x = -15

  3. Divide by 1-1 to solve for xx: x=15x = 15

So, the solution is: x=15x = 15
