Question 90749
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/2 =2/2}}}



==> x = 1



So solution is x = 1


Hope you found the explanation useful.
