Answer:
x = 24
Explanation:
Multiply 4 to both sides
x + 40 = 64
Move the constant to the right
x = 64 - 40
Subtract
24
We want to isolate the variable, so first subtract 10 from both sides:
x/4 + 10 - 10 = 16 - 10
x/4 = 6
Now, multiply both sides by 4:
(x/4) * 4 = 6 * 4
Thus, x = 24.
Hope this helps!
