How many solutions does this equation have?
6 - 2x/24 = 4
To find the number of solutions, we need to solve the equation.
Begin by subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation:
-2x/24 = 4 - 6
-2x/24 = -2
Next, multiply both sides of the equation by 24 to eliminate the fraction:
24 * (-2x/24) = 24 * -2
-2x = -48
To isolate the variable x, divide both sides of the equation by -2:
(-2x)/(-2) = (-48)/(-2)
x = 24
Therefore, the equation has one solution, which is x = 24.
