Answer:

4x=10 or x= 10/4 or x= 5/2 or x= 2 and 1/2 or also E

Explanation:

You can combine like terms by adding 2x and 3x, as they have the same variable with no extra additions onto them. You get 5x.

The current equation should look like 5x-4=x+6

Then you can subtract 1x from both sides, to get rid of the x on the right side to get 4x-4=6

Then you can do a similar operation to add 4 on both sides to get 4x=10.

Finally you can divide both sides by 4 (simplifying to get unit rates of x)

You get x = 10/4

You simplify to get 5/2 and it can simplify to a mixed number if needed which is 2 and 1/2
