    Simplifying

    8x + 4 = 6x + - 10

    Reorder the terms:

    4 + 8x = 6x + - 10

    Reorder the terms:

    4 + 8x = - 10 + 6x

    Solving

    4 + 8x = - 10 + 6x

    Solving for variable 'x'.

    Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

    Add '-6x' to each side of the equation.

    4 + 8x + - 6x = - 10 + 6x + - 6x

    Combine like terms: 8x + - 6x = 2x

    4 + 2x = - 10 + 6x + - 6x

    Combine like terms: 6x + - 6x = 0

    4 + 2x = - 10 + 0

    4 + 2x = - 10

    Add '-4' to each side of the equation.

    4 + - 4 + 2x = - 10 + - 4

    Combine like terms: 4 + - 4 = 0

    0 + 2x = - 10 + - 4

    2x = - 10 + - 4

    Combine like terms: - 10 + - 4 = - 14

    2x = - 14

    Divide each side by '2'.

    x = - 7

    Simplifying

    x = - 7

    8x+4 = 6x-10

    To solve for x you'll want to move all the terms containing x onto the left side of the equation and all the other terms on the right side of the equation.

    1. Subtract 6x from both sides.

    2x+4 = - 10

    2. Subtract 4 from both sides.

    2x = - 14

    3. Divide both sides by 2.

    x = - 7

    Answer is:

    -7
