2x-5=6+4x
2x-5+5=5+6+4x
2x=11+4x
2x-4x=11+4x-4x
-2x=11
-2x/-2=11/-2
x=-5.5

ok 2x - 5 = 6 + 4x. the first thing you do is get all the x's on the same side. So you want to subtract 2x from both sides. Then your equation says -5 = 6 + 2x. Now you want to get the x by itself. So subtract 6 from both sides. You will get -11 = 2x then, divide both sides by 2 and you get -5.5 = x Now you have solved the equation!

You want to get the variables together first--we'll move the variables to the left side, the numbers to the right.
2x - 5 = 6 + 4x
2x - 5 - 4x = 6 + 4x - 4x
-2x - 5 = 6
-2x - 5 + 5 = 6 + 5
-2x = 11
Now divide both sides by the coefficient (-2) to get x by itself.
-2x = 11
x = -11/2
So the result is negative eleven halves (-11/2).

What you want to do is get all the x terms on the left and all the others on the right.
2x - 5 = 6 + 4x
Subtract 4x from both sides.
-2x - 5 = 6
Add 5 to both sides.
-2x = 11
Divide both sides by -2.
x = -11/2

2x-5 = 6 +4x
2x = 11 + 4x
-2x = 11
x = -11/2

balance the equation
2x-5=6+4x
so, 2x-5(+5)=6+5+4x
so,2x=11+4x
so,2x-4x=11
so, -2x=11
so, x=-5.5
