6 - 2x = 6x - 10x + 10
6 - 8x = -10x + 10
6 + 2x = 10
2x = 4
x = 2

The answer is 2

The answer would be: x = 2

Let’s start by combining like terms.

6 - 2x = -4x + 10

Next add 2x to both sides.

6 = -2x + 10

Next subtract 10 from both sides to isolate the variable.

-4 = -2x

Then divide both sides by -2.

-4(-2) = -2x(-2)

The answer you should get is:

x = 2

Let’s test it:

6 - 2(2) = 6(2) - 10(2) + 10

6 - 4 = 12 - 20 + 10

Both sides equal 2.

Good luck!
