Step-by-step solution

To solve the equation 5x+2=4x+10 5x + 2 = 4x + 10 , we can simplify and solve for x x by following these steps:

  • First, let's get all terms involving x x on one side and the constant terms on the other. We do this by subtracting 4x 4x from both sides:

    5x+24x=4x+104x 5x + 2 - 4x = 4x + 10 - 4x

    This simplifies to:

    x+2=10 x + 2 = 10

  • Next, we need to isolate x x by subtracting 2 from both sides:

    x+22=102 x + 2 - 2 = 10 - 2

    Which simplifies to:

    x=8 x = 8

Thus, the solution for x x is 8 8 .
