Question:

Solve. 10x – 4 – 5x = 6 + 3x – 8


Answer:

10x – 4 – 5x = 6 + 3x – 8

Collect the like terms together....


10x – 5x – 4 = 6 – 8 + 3x


==> 5x - 4 = -2 + 3x

Subtract 3x from both sides....



==> 5x - 4 - 3x = -2 + 3x - 3x

==> 5x - 3x - 4 = -2

==> 2x - 4 = -2

Add 4 on both sides...

==> 2x - 4 + 4 = -2 + 4


==> 2x = 2

Divide by 2 on both sides....


==>2x%2F2+=2%2F2


==> x = 1


So solution is x = 1

Hope you found the explanation useful.
