What is the answer for x in this problem: 6 - x divided by 2 = 4?

Answer 1

x = 2

Answer 2

I am sure your teacher did not write the problem that way. If you mean
(6 - x)/2 = 4, the answer is x = -2.
If you mean 6 - (x/2) = 4, the answer is x = 4.

Answer 3

[ 6 - x ] / 2 = 4
6 - x = 8
6 = 8 + x
- 2 = x

Answer 4

Per PEMDAS
6 - x divided by 2 = 4 translates to
6 - x/2 = 4
-6 both sides
-x/2 = -2

Mutiply by -4
x=8 <<<

If you meant something different you'll need to use parens.

Answer 5

-2

Answer 6

Depends on whether you mean (6-x)/2 or 6-(x/2).

Answer 7

(6 - x) / 2 = 4
Multiply both sides by '2'
Hence
6 - x = 8
Subtract '6' from both sides
-x = 2
Multiply both sides by '-1'
x = -2

Answer 8

6 - x/2 = 4
-x/2 = -2
x = -4

Answer 9

Two possibilities.

If (6 - x) / 2 = 4, multiply by -2 and add 6 -- both sides. x = -2.

If 6 - (x/2) = 4, subtract 6 from and multiply both sides by -2. x = 4 here.

Answer 10

Unfortunately the words don't clearly represent the grouping.

One interpretations is:
(6 - x) / 2 = 4

To "undo" this, start by multiplying both sides by 2:
6 - x = 8

Then subtract 6 from both sides:
-x = 2

Finally change the sign on both sides (same as multiplying both sides by -1):
x = -2

Alternatively, the words could be interpreted as:
6 - x/2 = 4

In this case, you can still start by multiplying both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction:
12 - x = 8

Subtract 12 from both sides:
-x = -4

Then change the sign.
x = 4

Because English is often imprecise, it would be better to use mathematical symbols when posting your question here so we know which interpretation is the correct one. Choose the correct interpretation above along with the corresponding answer.

Answer:
For (6 - x)/2 = 4 --> x = -2
For 6 - x/2 = 4 --> x = 4
