How to solve 5 = (6x + 2)/4

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$5=\frac{6x+2}{4}$$

Solve for x

$x=3$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by $4$.

$$5\times 4=6x+2$$

Multiply $5$ and $4$ to get $20$.

$$20=6x+2$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$6x+2=20$$

Subtract $2$ from both sides.

$$6x=20-2$$

Subtract $2$ from $20$ to get $18$.

$$6x=18$$

Divide both sides by $6$.

$$x=\frac{18}{6}$$

Divide $18$ by $6$ to get $3$.

$$x=3$$
