Question

What is the solution to the equation 4x - 6 = 10x - 3

Answer 1

Set the equtions equal to eachother and solve to get x= -.5

4x-6=10x-3
simplify the x values and get
-6=6x-3
then simplify the whole numbers
-3=6x
divide by 6
-.5=x

Answer 2

Hello! And thank you for your question!

First subtract 4x from both sides:

-6 = 10x - 3 - 4x

Then Simplify 10x - 3 -4x:

-6 = 6x - 3

Then add 3 to both sides:

-6 + 3 = 6x

After that simplify again of 3 + (-6):

6x = -3

Divide both sides by 6:

-3.6 = x

Simplify once more of 3/6:

-1/2 = x

Final Answer:

x = -1/2
