Answer:

6

Explanation:

x is a mystery number. We don't know what it is, but we know that if you add 4 to it, we get 10. To what number should we add 4 to get 10?

That's right, 6.

A more advanced explanation:

We need to isolate x, so it will be alone on one side of the equation. To do this, we must subtract 4 from the left side of the equation, so it will be x + 0, or x. But we also need to remember that equations always need to be balanced, so we need to subtract 4 from both sides, to get x + 0 = 10 - 4. Simplifying, we get that x = 6.

Hope this helps!
