Answer:

This equation has not solution because -10 does not equal 4.

Explanation:

In the equation:

4x - 10 = 6x + 4 - 2x

First add 2x to both sides

4x + 2x - 10 = 6x + 4 - 2x + 2x

Simplify:

6x - 10 = 6x + 4

Subtract 6x from both sides:

6x - 6x - 10 = 6x - 6x + 4

Simplify

-10 = 4, which is not correct.
