What is the first step in solving the equation 20 = 6x-4 solving for x

1 answer

To solve the equation 20 = 6x - 4 for x, first, we isolate the variable x by moving -4 to the other side of the equation.

The first step is to add 4 to both sides of the equation:

20 + 4 = 6x - 4 + 4

Simplifying:

24 = 6x
