4x−5=

6x−15

1 answer

To solve the equation \(4x - 5 = 6x - 15\), we can start by isolating \(x\).

  1. First, let's move the terms involving \(x\) to one side and the constant terms to the other side. We can do this by subtracting \(4x\) from both sides:

\[ -5 = 6x - 4x - 15 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ -5 = 2x - 15 \]

  1. Next, we will add 15 to both sides to isolate the term with \(x\):

\[ -5 + 15 = 2x \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 10 = 2x \]

  1. Now, divide both sides by 2 to solve for \(x\):

\[ x = \frac{10}{2} = 5 \]

Thus, the solution to the equation \(4x - 5 = 6x - 15\) is

\[ \boxed{5}. \]
