Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the word format of an equation.

Let's right it out in numerical form.


(1)/(4) (x + 10) = x - 4

The first part says One fourth the sum of x and 10

The sum of x and 10 would be shown as x + 10, and one fourth of that means that
(1)/(4) is multiplying (x + 10).

In this case, identical would mean equal to.

So,
(1)/(4)(x + 10) would be = to something.

It says that it is identical to x minus 4 (x - 4).


(1)/(4) (x + 10) = x - 4 is the equation.
