Question

Find the value of $x$ that satisfies the given equation.

$5x+10=26+x$

• A. 4
• B. 15
• C. 3
• D. 25

Answer 1

The correct option is A 4

Given, $5x+10=26+x$

Transposing x from RHS to LHS, and 10 from LHS to RHS, we get

$5x-x=26-10$
$\Rightarrow 4x=16$

Dividing both sides by 4, we get

$x=\frac{16}{4}=4$
