(a) 4x + 6 = 30
4x=30-6
4x=24
x=24/4
x=6 ans.
(b) 5(x – 4) = 3x + 10
5x-20=3x+10
5x-3x=10=20
2x=30
x=30/2
x=15 ans.

With equations, you need to get x on one side and the number on the other.
Equation (a)
4x+6=30
First you would subtract 6 form both sides
Then you would divide both sides by four which will give you with the answer for x.
(a)
4x+6=30
-6 -6
4x=24
4x/4=24/4
x=6
Equations (b)
5(x-4)=3x+10
With this equation you need to get rid of the parenthesis first. You do that by multiplying.
Then you need to get all the x's on one side and the numbers on the other.
(b)
5(x-4)=3x+10
5x-20=3x+10
+20 +20
5x =3x+30
-3x -3x
2x=30
2x/2=30/2
x=15
