To find x:
Put 10 and 4x-2 in the same equation.
4x-2 = 10
Isolate 4x by transposing 2 to the right side.
4x-2+2 = 10+2
4x = 10+2
4x = 12
Divide both sides by 4 (AKA the GCF of 4 and 12)
4x/4 = 12/4
On the left side, 4 will be cancelled out so x will remain.
On the right side, 12 divided by 4 is 3.
x = 3
Therefore, the value of x is three.
Verification:
10 = 4x-2
10 = 4(3)-2
10 = 12-2
10 = 10
The answer is correct.
