You gotta use algebra, it will make it 100x easier

5. gabbyalicorn

I knew I did something wrong...

8. Nnesha

9. gabbyalicorn

32

$\huge\rm 4\color{Red}{x}+6=38$replace x with 8 $\huge\rm 4\color{Red}{(8)}+6=38$ 32+6 |dw:1442025234049:dw|

8 x 4 = 32 + 6 = 38

Yep

14. gabbyalicorn

:O Oh, snap! Didn't even realized I got the answer cx

Have you learn or started algebra? Or is it above ur level?

16. gabbyalicorn

I've learned algebra.

Ok all you have to do is minus 6 from both sides: like this 4x+6 -6 = 38 -6 therefore 4x =32 divide both sides by 4 and you get x=8

Hmm, okay. I'll try that on the next problem. Thank you.
