A carries 6 more than B.
So, if B held 10, how many would A hold?
If B held 3, how many would A hold?
If B held 7, how many would A hold?
If B held x, how many would A hold?
Think about what you do to get your numerical answers and then apply it to the algebra version.
Hopefully this will help you?
