If both groups already have 1240 but they both need 6000 how much more would they need

9520

Explanation: You take 6000 and - it by 1240. Since there are two, you take 4760 (the result from the subtraction) and x 2.  you would get 9520. hope this helps!

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.
