x%2B3x=x%2Bx%2B10 Start with the given equation.


4x=x%2Bx%2B10 Combine like terms on the left side.


4x=2x%2B10 Combine like terms on the right side.


4x-2x=10 Subtract 2x from both sides.


2x=10 Combine like terms on the left side.


x=%2810%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x.


x=5 Reduce.
