Answer:

7

Explanation:

well let’s just think that there’s already 10. let’s ignore the 10 for later.

now let’s think about 6x. of course the x is unknown (variable) which we have to find, so what you want to do, (easy way) think of every multiple of the number 6. so that of course includes 6, 12, 18... etc. now if you continue, you will get to the number 42. now it might not click right there but 42... is what we need since we already have the 10. since 42 + 10 = 52, now we just need to find out what 42 divided by 6 is... 7! 7x6 or 7(6) is 42, plus the starting 10 is 52!

therefore, x = 7.

x = 7
(6)(7) + 10 = 52
42 + 10 = 52
