Answer:

  • -5


\:

Explanation:


\:

Given Equation,


\\ {\longrightarrow{ \qquad{{ {\pmb{\rm { 4x+4=2x-6}}}}}}} \\ \\

Subtracting 4 from both sides we get :


\\ {\longrightarrow{ \qquad{{ {\pmb{\rm { 4x+4 - 4=2x-6 - 4}}}}}}} \\ \\


{\longrightarrow{ \qquad{{ {\pmb{\rm { 4x=2x-10}}}}}}} \\ \\

Subtracting 2x from both sides we get :


\\ {\longrightarrow{ \qquad{{ {\pmb{\rm { 4x - 2x= 2x-10 - 2x}}}}}}} \\ \\


{\longrightarrow{ \qquad{{ {\pmb{\rm { 2x= -10 }}}}}}} \\ \\

Dividing 2 from both sides we get :


\\ {\longrightarrow{ \qquad{{ {\pmb{\rm { (2x)/(2) = - (10)/(2) }}}}}}} \\ \\


{\longrightarrow{ \qquad{{ {\pmb{\frak { x= -5 }}}}}}} \\ \\

Therefore,

  • The value of x is -5
