What is the value of x when x + 10 = 4?

Question

I need to know the value of x if x is x+10=4

Answer 1

Hi Brandi

 

when you have an equation like this you can solve for x by getting values for x on one side of the equation and getting the numbers on the other side

 

In this case

 

x + 10 = 4    (we must subtract 10 from both sides to get the numbers on the right side of the equation

 

x + 10 -10 = 4 - 10

 

and this becomes

 

x = -6

 

so your answer is -6

 

Hope this helps
