Hey!
To solve this equation, we must first combine similar elements.
<em>Original Equation :</em>
<span>3x - 5x + 4 = 10
<em>New Equation {Changed by Combining Similar Elements} :</em>
-2x + 4 = 10
Now that that's done, we'll move onto the second step. Which is to subtract 4 from both sides.
<em>Old Equation :</em>
</span>-2x + 4 = 10
<em>New Equation {Added Subtract Both Sides by 4} :</em>
-2x + 4 - 4 = 10 - 4
<em>Solution {New Equation Solved} :</em>
-2x = 6
Now we divide both sides by two to get our final answer.
<em>Old Equation :</em>
-2x = 6
<em>New Equation {Added Divided Both Sides by -2} :</em>
=
<em>Solution {New Equation Solved} :</em>
x = -3
<em>So, now we know that in the equation 3x - 5x + 4 = 10,</em>
x = -3Hope this helps!
