Question

Solve the following equation by elimination method: 10-4x=26

Answer 1

Here's the answer

Thanks for your question :)

Given :

10 - 4x = 26

Solution :

Taking the term (10) to the R. H. S

-4x = 26 - 10

-4x = 16

Dividing both sides by 4

-x = 4

Multiplying both sides by (-1)

( -x ) × ( -1 ) = 4 × ( -1 )

x = -4

Answer 2

Solution :

Given linear equation in one variable

10 - 4x = 26

Subtract 10 both sides of the equation,

we get

=> - 10 + 10 - 4x = 26 - 10

=> -4x = 16

Divide both sides by ( -4 ), we get

=> ( -4x )/( -4 ) = 16/( -4 )

=> x = -4

Therefore ,

x = -4
