Math Problem Statement

6x +  4  -  7x  =  10  - 2x  +  3 if x=4

Solution

To solve the equation 6x+47x=102x+36x + 4 - 7x = 10 - 2x + 3 when x=4x = 4, follow these steps:

  1. Substitute x=4x = 4 into the equation:

    6(4)+47(4)=102(4)+36(4) + 4 - 7(4) = 10 - 2(4) + 3

  2. Simplify both sides:

    • Left-hand side:

    24+428=024 + 4 - 28 = 0

    • Right-hand side:

    108+3=510 - 8 + 3 = 5

  3. Compare the simplified expressions:

    050 \neq 5

Since the left-hand side and the right-hand side are not equal, the equation does not hold true for x=4x = 4.
