I'll do the first one to get you started.

# 1

4x%2B10=12x-6 Start with the given equation.


4x=12x-6-10 Subtract 10 from both sides.


4x-12x=-6-10 Subtract 12x from both sides.


-8x=-6-10 Combine like terms on the left side.


-8x=-16 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-16%29%2F%28-8%29 Divide both sides by -8 to isolate x.


x=2 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is x=2
