Enter value for x that makes the equation-2x+10+4x=70 true

Answer 1

You can determine the value of x by solving the equation by combining like terms and using inverse operations.

2x + 10 + 4x = 70

6x + 10 = 70

6x + 10 - 10 = 70 - 10

6x = 60

6x / 6 = 60 / 6

x = 10

You can verify the solution of 10 by substituting 10 for x in the original equation:

2x + 10 + 4x = 70

2 * 10 + 10 + 4 * 10 = 20 + 10 + 40 = 70
