Solve for x

4x + 22 = 6x - 8 x =

First combine like terms:

6x - 8x = - 2x

4x + 22 = - 2x

Now add 2x to both sides:

4x + 2x = 6x

-2x + 2x = 0

6x + 22 = 0

Now subtract 22 from both sides:

22 - 22 = 0

0 - 22 = - 22

6x = - 22

Divide both sides by 6:

6x : 6 = x

-22 : 6 = - 11/3 or - 3 1/3

The answer is x = - 11/3 or - 3 1/3

The answer is X=-11/3
