[tex]-x = 4-3x+6[/tex]

Refine [tex]4-3x + 6[/tex]

[tex]-3x = 4+6 [/tex]

[tex]-3x = 10[/tex]

Add [tex]3x[/tex]  to both sides:

[tex]-x + 3x = -3x + 10 + 3x[/tex]

[tex]2x = 10[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2 :

[tex] \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{10}{5} [/tex]

[tex]x = 5[/tex]

Answer a

hope this helps!

[tex]-x = 4 - 3x + 6 \\ \\ -x = -3x + 10 \\ \\ -x + 3x = 10 \\ \\ 2x = 10 \\ \\ x = \frac{10}{2} \\ \\ x = 5 \\ \\ [/tex]

The answer is: x = 5.
