10x+16=6x-8

Answer 1

To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable x.

First, let's simplify each side of the equation separately:

10x + 16 = 6x - 8

Combining like terms on the left side:

10x = 6x - 8 - 16

10x = 6x - 24

Now, let's isolate the x term by subtracting 6x from both sides of the equation:

10x - 6x = 6x - 24 - 6x

4x = -24

Finally, to solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 4:

4x/4 = -24/4

x = -6

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -6.
