4x-10=6
First, add 10 to both sides
4x -10(+10)=6(+10)
The -10 and +10 cancel each other out.
Which leaves:
4x=16
Next, divide both sides by 4
4x(/4)=6(/4)
4/4 is 1 (cancels each other out)
Leaving:
x=6/4 or x=1.5 (Best to leave as a fraction.)

There are four steps in an algebraic elimination problem. These steps are: to find a variable with equal or opposite coefficients, if equal then subtract the equations but if opposite then add, solve one variable equation left, and then substitute known variable into other equation and solve. hi
recognizing and identify the problem
11- 5 = 6, therefore x= 6 if your not sure if u are right, substitute 6 for x and see if it makes sense
It is an algebraic equation which requires 2 steps to solve it, by breaking it down in different parts, until it is easy to calculate the answer.
Algebraic equations with two variables will need two equations to be able to solve it. Then, you can solve it with either substitution, adding/subtracting them together, or graphing! Those are the basic steps... For example: An instance of substitution: 2x + 1 = y + 2 x + y = 3 You could isolate y in the second equation to equal y = 3-x. Then in the first equation, substitute y with what it equals to 2x + 1 = 3-x+2 Then you can solve for x!
