#14/5# or 2.8

#6x - 10 = x + 4#

Put x to one side and the other variable on the other side.

#6x - x = 4 + 10#

Remember, when you bring a number to the other side, remember to change it's positives and negatives.

For example :

Negative will change to Positive
Positive will change to Negative

Anyways, let's continue...

#5x = 14#

#x = 14/5#

If you use the calculator, the answer in decimals will be 2.8
