Solve for x 4x-6/-2=15

$4 x - \frac{6}{- 2} = 15$

Step 1

Simplify each term.

Divide $6$ by $- 2$ .

$4 x - - 3 = 15$

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 3$ .

$4 x + 3 = 15$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $3$ from both sides of the equation.

$4 x = 15 - 3$

Subtract $3$ from $15$ .

$4 x = 12$

Step 3

Divide each term in $4 x = 12$ by $4$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $4 x = 12$ by $4$ .

$\frac{4 x}{4} = \frac{12}{4}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $4$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{4 x}{4} = \frac{12}{4}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{12}{4}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $12$ by $4$ .

$x = 3$
