To solve for x, your first step is to get rid of the 150 by subtracting it from both sides so that you get:
4x+6x=210
Then, you add like things:
10x=210
Divide both sides by 10 so that you can isolate x:
x=21

Check:
4(21)+6(21)+150=360
84+126+150=360
360=360

The answer is x=21.

4x + 6x + 150 = 360
start by combining like terms
10x + 150 = 360
subtract 150 to start isolating the x
10x = 210
now divide by 10 to isolate the x entirely
x = 21

Hope this helps :)
