Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Add 4 to both sides of the equation:
x - 4 (+4) = 6 (+4)
x = 6 + 4
x = 10
x = 10 is your answer.

You get this result after adding 4 to both sides. This is to undo the "minus 4" happening to the x.
To check the answer, replace x with 10 and simplify each side like so
x-4 = 6
10-4 = 6
6 = 6
We get the same thing on both sides, so that confirms the solution.
