-3x + 1 + 10x = x+4
Subtract x from both sides
-4x + 1 + 10x = 4
Add 10x to -4x. This would be the same as subtracting 4x from 10x.
1+6x=4
Subtract 1 from both sides
6x=3
Divide both sides by 6 so that the only thing remaining on the left side is the variable x.
Final Answer: x= 0.5 or 3/6 or 1/2 * These are all equivalent answers.
