Answer:
The value of x is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us simplify each side at first
∵ 2(x - 3) = 4(x - 4)
∴ 2(x) - 2(3) = 4(x) - 4(4)
∴ 2x - 6 = 4x - 16
→ Subtract 4x from both sides
∴ 2x - 4x - 6 = 4x - 4x - 16
∴ -2x - 6 = -16
→ Add 6 to both sides
∴ -2x - 6 + 6 = -16 + 6
∴ -2x = -10
→ Divide both sides by -2
∴ [tex]\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{-10}{-2}[/tex]
∴ x = 5
∴ The value of x is 5
