6(x10)=4(x+21) 6(x-10)=4(x+21)

Full solution

Q. 6(x10)=4(x+21) 6(x-10)=4(x+21)
  1. Distribute terms: Distribute 66 into (x10)(x-10) and 44 into (x+21)(x+21). \newline6(x10)=6x606(x-10) = 6x - 60\newline4(x+21)=4x+844(x+21) = 4x + 84
  2. Set equations equal: Set the distributed equations equal to each other.\newline6x60=4x+846x - 60 = 4x + 84
  3. Subtract xx terms: Subtract 4x4x from both sides to get the xx terms on one side.\newline6x4x60=4x4x+846x - 4x - 60 = 4x - 4x + 84\newline2x60=842x - 60 = 84
  4. Add 6060: Add 6060 to both sides to isolate the 2x2x term.\newline2x60+60=84+602x - 60 + 60 = 84 + 60\newline2x=1442x = 144
  5. Divide by 22: Divide both sides by 22 to solve for x.\newline2x2=1442\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{144}{2}\newlinex=72x = 72
