Answer:

False.

Explanation:

What is the question if you have the solution already?

I guess its a true/false question. In that case it's false because:

-x + 10 = 2x + 4

-x -2x + 10 = 4

-x - 2x = 4 - 10

-3x = -6

x = - 6 / -3

x = 2

Answer:

False.

This equation has only one solution, and it is x = 2.

Explanation:

-x + 10 = 2x + 4

Subtract 2x from both sides.

-3x + 10 = 4

Subtract 10 from both sides.

-3x = -6

Divide both sides by -3.

x = 2

False.
