Question

$$20x+4=18x+16$$

Solve for x

$x=6$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $18x$ from both sides.

$$20x+4-18x=16$$

Combine $20x$ and $-18x$ to get $2x$.

$$2x+4=16$$

Subtract $4$ from both sides.

$$2x=16-4$$

Subtract $4$ from $16$ to get $12$.

$$2x=12$$

Divide both sides by $2$.

$$x=\frac{12}{2}$$

Divide $12$ by $2$ to get $6$.

$$x=6$$
