Answer:


x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:


11x-6=7x+10

To solve for x, first of all,

Subtract 7x from both sides


\begin{gathered} 11x-6-7x=7x+10-7x \\ 11x-7x-6=7x-7x+10 \\ 4x-6=10 \end{gathered}

Next, add 6 to both sides


\begin{gathered} 4x-6+6=10+6 \\ 4x=16 \end{gathered}

Next, divide both sides by 4


\begin{gathered} (4x)/(4)=(16)/(4) \\ \\ x=4 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the value of x is 4
