Answer:
[tex]x = \frac{21}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
5x − 3(x+9) + 10 = 4
5x + (−3)(x) + (−3)(9) + 10 = 4 (Distribute)
5x + −3x + −27 + 10 = 4
(5x+−3x) + (−27+10) = 4 (Combine Like Terms)
2x + −17 = 4
2x − 17 = 4
Step 2: Add 17 to both sides.
2x − 17 + 17 = 4 + 17
2x = 21
Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.
[tex]\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{21}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x =\frac{21}{2}[/tex]
Hope it helps!!
