Question

Solve the equation x - 4 = 6 HELLPL

Answer 1

Answer: x = 10

You get this result after adding 4 to both sides. This is to undo the "minus 4" happening to the x.

To check the answer, replace x with 10 and simplify each side like so

x-4 = 6

10-4 = 6

6 = 6

We get the same thing on both sides, so that confirms the solution.

Answer 2

x = 10

Explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Add 4 to both sides of the equation:

x - 4 (+4) = 6 (+4)

x = 6 + 4

x = 10

x = 10 is your answer.
