Question

How do I solve this two step like term A

Answer 1

x = 5

Explanation:

Add like terms - - -

So combine -4x and 10x

(You are basically adding the coefficients - - - add -4 and 10 together!)

-4x + 10x = 30

Note: You can rewrite this if it helps you as:

10x - 4x = 30

6x = 30

Now divide both sides by 6 to "isolate" the x:

6x/6 = 30/6

x = 5
