Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to add the numbers.

6x - 1 + 4x + 21 = 50

6x + 20 + 4x = 50

Then you want to combine like terms

6x + 20 + 4x = 50

10x + 20 = 50

Then subtract 20 from BOTH sides of the equation

10x + 20 = 50

10x + 20 - 20 = 50 - 20

After, simplify.

10x = 30

Then divide BOTH sides of the equation by the same term

10x / 10 = 30 / 10

Simplify ..

x = 3

And your answer is going to be x = 3! Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

x=3


Step-by-step explanation:

First what you do is move x to one side and the rest of the numbers to another while changing the sign from + to - or - to + like this
6x+4x= 1+-21+50

Then you do the equation on 1 side
6x+4x=30

And then the other but add them like x is not there
10x=30
Your final result should be
X=3
