4x−10−88x=0
Subtract the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
4x−88x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(4−88)x
Subtract the numbers
−84x
−84x−10=0
Move the constant to the right side
−84x=0+10
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−84x=10
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
84x=−10
Divide both sides
8484x=84−10
Divide the numbers
x=84−10
