Solve for x

8x+4=6x-10

x=?

Simplifying

8x + 4 = 6x + - 10

Reorder the terms:

4 + 8x = 6x + - 10

Reorder the terms:

4 + 8x = - 10 + 6x

Solving

4 + 8x = - 10 + 6x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6x' to each side of the equation.

4 + 8x + - 6x = - 10 + 6x + - 6x

Combine like terms: 8x + - 6x = 2x

4 + 2x = - 10 + 6x + - 6x

Combine like terms: 6x + - 6x = 0

4 + 2x = - 10 + 0

4 + 2x = - 10

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.

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

Combine like terms: 4 + - 4 = 0

0 + 2x = - 10 + - 4

2x = - 10 + - 4

Combine like terms: - 10 + - 4 = - 14

2x = - 14

Divide each side by '2'.

x = - 7

Simplifying

x = - 7

8x+4 = 6x-10

To solve for x you'll want to move all the terms containing x onto the left side of the equation and all the other terms on the right side of the equation.

1. Subtract 6x from both sides.

2x+4 = - 10

2. Subtract 4 from both sides.

2x = - 14

3. Divide both sides by 2.

x = - 7

Answer is:

-7
