5 x - 8 x

Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients

(5 - 8) x

Subtract the numbers

- 3 x

- 3 x - 4

- 3 x - 4 + 10 = 0

Add the numbers

- 3 x + 6 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- 3 x = 0 - 6

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 3 x = - 6

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

3 x = 6

Divide both sides

\frac{3 x}{3} = \frac{6}{3}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{6}{3}
