The solution of 6x + 10 = 4 is x = -1.

Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 6x + 10 and y = 4 meet at x = -1-6-4-224-30-20-1010203040x = -1y = 6x + 10y = 4
The lines y = 6x + 10 and y = 4 meet at x = -1. The solution of the equation is the x-coordinate of the point where the two sides are equal.

How to work it out

  1. 1

    The goal is to get x alone. Undo the operations in the opposite order: first the addition, then the multiplication.

    6x+10=46x + 10 = 4
  2. 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides:

    6x+10−10=4−10 ⇒ 6x=−66x + 10 - 10 = 4 - 10 \ \Rightarrow\ 6x = -6
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 6:

    6x6=−66 ⇒ x=−1\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{-6}{6} \ \Rightarrow\ x = -1
  4. 4

    Check: put x = -1 back into the equation.

    6⋅(−1)+10=−6+10=4✓6\cdot(-1) + 10 = -6 + 10 = 4 \checkmark
