Answer:

It's 10, it's just basically the same as 4x10 but turned around.

Hello,

The quantity of the terms on the right has to be the same as the quantity of the terms on the left because it is an equation.

Let's write our equation according to the sentence above;


4.10=4x

Let's divide both equations by 4.


(4.10)/(4)=(4x)/(4)

Simplification can be made. In this case, the following result should be obtained;


10=x

The correct answer should be 10. Good luck!
