Answer:

x=-1

Explanation:

6 - 7x = 5x - 8x + 10

First move the variables (x) to one side:

6 - 7x = 5x - 8x + 10

+7x +7x

6 = 5x - 8x + 7x + 10

Subtract 10 from both sides:

6 = 5x - 8x + 7x + 10

-10 -10

-4 = 5x - 8x + 7x

Simplify:

4x = -4

Divide by 4 to isolate x:

4x = -4

÷4 ÷4

x=-1

Answer:

first, simplify the equation, 5x-8x is -3x. So 6-7x = -3x+10

now subtract 6 from both sides, -7x = -3x+4

now add 3x on both sides. -4x = 4. now divide 4/-4 is -1. Thus X=-1
