Answer:
x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution for 3x-10-x=4 equation:
Simplifying
3x + -10 + -1x = 4
Reorder the terms:
-10 + 3x + -1x = 4
Combine like terms: 3x + -1x = 2x
-10 + 2x = 4
Solving
-10 + 2x = 4
Solving for variable ‘x’.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add ’10’ to each side of the equation.
-10 + 10 + 2x = 4 + 10
Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0
0 + 2x = 4 + 10
2x = 4 + 10
Combine like terms: 4 + 10 = 14
2x = 14
Divide each side by ‘2’.
x = 7
Simplifying
x = 7
