A good first step would be to subtract x from both sides of the inequality to isolate the x term:
x - 6 < x + 4
Simplifying, we have:
-6 < 4
This statement is true, so the inequality is true for all values of x. Therefore, x can take any value.
Solving the inequality for x, which statement shows a good first step and which is the correct solution?
x−6<x4

The number of x's on both sides of the equation is different a≠b
The number of x's is the same on both sides of the equation, and the constant is different a=b, c1≠c2
The number of x's is the same on both sides of the equation and the constant is also the same a=b, c1=c2
