x=2
-
This is a multi-step equation. Your goal is to get the variable "x" by itself on one side to find its value.
First, bring 4 over to the right side. You do the opposite of the operation, so add 4 on both sides.
You now have: 5x=10 (5x+0=6+4)
Second to get the 5 on the other side, do the opposite of multiplication. Divide by 5 on both sides.
You now have: x= 2 (5x/5=10/5)
Answer: x=2
If you want to check it, plug 2 in the place of "x" and check if the equation works.
5 x 2 is 10. 10-4 is 6. X=5 is correct.

First, add 4 to both sides of the equal sign. Then you get 5x=10. Then dived by 5 on both sides of the equal sign. You're then left with x=2.
