Question

10 + 2x – 4 = 2x + 1 + x ?

Answer 1

x=5

Explanation:

10+2x=4=2x+1+x (Then subtract 2x from both sides)

-2x. -2x

10-4=1+x (Simplify)

1+x=10-4 (Switch sides)

1+x=6 (Then subtract the numbers: 10-4=6)

1+x=6 (Subtract 1 from both sides)

-1 -1

x=5

Answer 2

x = 5

Explanation:

10 + 2x - 4 = 2x + 1 + x

First, we can subtract 2x from both sides:

10 - 4 = 1 + x

We can simplify 10-4 to 6:

6 = 1 + x

Now, we can subtract 1 from both sides:

5 = x

x = 5
