Question
Solve the equation
x=3
Evaluate
10+4(x−3)=2x+4
Move the expression to the left side
10+4(x−3)−(2x+4)=0
Calculate the sum or difference
More Steps

Evaluate
10+4(x−3)−(2x+4)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
10+4(x−3)−2x−4
Subtract the numbers
6+4(x−3)−2x
6+4(x−3)−2x=0
Calculate the sum or difference

Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(4−2)x
Subtract the numbers
2x
−6+2x
−6+2x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
2x=0+6
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
2x=6
Divide both sides
22x=26
Divide the numbers
x=26
