We have to make an expression for this so...

3x + 6 = 5x - 4

10 = 2x (10/2 = 5 (2x/2 cancels out)

5 = x

Therefore our answer is option B

Hey there,
3x + 6 = 5x - 4
3x - 5x = -4-6
-2x = -10
x=5
Thus, the answer is B, 5
*you can cancel out the negatives as they are common(2nd last number statement)

Hope this
