Answer: The answer is 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
3(x + 2) + -10 = 4x + -6 + x
Reorder the terms:
3(2 + x) + -10 = 4x + -6 + x
(2 * 3 + x * 3) + -10 = 4x + -6 + x
(6 + 3x) + -10 = 4x + -6 + x
Reorder the terms:
6 + -10 + 3x = 4x + -6 + x
Combine like terms: 6 + -10 = -4
-4 + 3x = 4x + -6 + x
Reorder the terms:
-4 + 3x = -6 + 4x + x
Combine like terms: 4x + x = 5x
-4 + 3x = -6 + 5x
Solving
-4 + 3x = -6 + 5x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.
-4 + 3x + -5x = -6 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 3x + -5x = -2x
-4 + -2x = -6 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
-4 + -2x = -6 + 0
-4 + -2x = -6
Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + 4 + -2x = -6 + 4
Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + -2x = -6 + 4
-2x = -6 + 4
Combine like terms: -6 + 4 = -2
-2x = -2
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = 1
Simplifying
x = 1
