The difference of ten and a number is equal to six times the same number. find the number

Answer 1

the difference between 10 and x refers to 10 and x being subtracted and four times the same number involves the same number, which is a variable x which is multiplied by 6. so this description refers to this equation

x-10=6x then to solve for x add 10 on both sides. x=6x+10 then subtract six on both sides.

-5x=10 then x=10/-5 so x=-2

(-2)-10=6(-2)

-12=-12
