Answer:
The correct solution is [tex]x=3[/tex]
He may have added 4 to both sides instead of subtracting 4 to both sides
Step-by-step explanation:
2[tex]x[/tex]+4=10 subtract 4 from both sides which makes it
2[tex]x[/tex]=6 because 10-4=6 and 2[tex]x[/tex]+4-4=2[tex]x[/tex]
Now you have to divide both sides by 2 to get the [tex]"x"[/tex] by itself
2[tex]x[/tex] divided by 2 is [tex]x[/tex] and 6 divided by 2 is 3
Which means [tex]x[/tex] equals 3
