Question

$$(2x+3x)=(4x+10x)$$

Solve for x

$x=0$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine $2x$ and $3x$ to get $5x$.

$$5x=4x+10x$$

Combine $4x$ and $10x$ to get $14x$.

$$5x=14x$$

Subtract $14x$ from both sides.

$$5x-14x=0$$

Combine $5x$ and $-14x$ to get $-9x$.

$$-9x=0$$

Product of two numbers is equal to $0$ if at least one of them is $0$. Since $-9$ is not equal to $0$, $x$ must be equal to $0$.

$$x=0$$
