Answer:


\huge{\bold{\boxed{\sf{x = 8 }}}}

Explanation:


6.5x - 10 = 4.5x + 6

Move 4.5x to left hand side and change its sign.

Similarly, move 10 to right hand side and change its sign.


6.5x - 4.5x = 6 + 10

Subtract 4.5x from 6.5x


2x = 6 + 10

Add the numbers: 6 and 10


2x = 16

Divide both sides by 2


(2x)/(2) = (16)/(2)

Calculate


\boxed{\sf{ x = 8 }}

Hope I helped!

Best regards!

Collect like terms
6.5x-4.5x = 6+10
2x = 6+10
Divide both sides
2x = 16
X= 8
