Solve for x...... + 26" alt="4x + 10 = 2x + 26" align="absmiddle" class="latex-formula">
​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+10 = 2x+26

4x-2x+10=2x-2x+26  [Subtract 2x from both sides]

2x+10=26

2x + 10 - 10 = 26 - 10  [Subtract 10 from both sides]

2x = 1

2x/2 = 16/2  [Divide both sides by 2]

x = 8

CHECK:

Does 4x+10 = 2x+26 when x is 8?

4(8)+10 = 2*(8)+26  ?

32+10 = 16+26    ?

42 = 42   YES

Answer 2

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\sf x =8}$

Explanation:

$\sf \rightarrow 4x + 10 = 2x + 26$

collect like terms

$\sf \rightarrow 4x -2x = 26-10$

subtract like terms

$\sf \rightarrow 2x = 16$

divide both sides by 2

$\sf \rightarrow x = 8$
