Answer:

-9

Explanation:

First you subtract 10 from each side

4x + 10 = -26

-10 -10

then you divide by your x

4x = -36

4 4

the 4s cancel out leaving you with x only

x = -36/4

x = -9

Answer:

x=-9

Explanation:

To solve for x, isolate this equation from left to right.

4x+10=-26

First, subtract by 10 from both sides.

4x+10-10=-26-10

Solve.

-26-10=-36

4x=-36

Then, you divide by 4 from both sides.

4x/4=-36/4

Solve.

-36/4=-9


\Rightarrow \boxed{\sf{x=-9}}

As a result, the solution is x=-9, which is the correct answer.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.
