Steps for finding the solution

We have 4x + 11 = -6x + 10

First, we move the x terms to the LHS and constant terms to the RHS of the equation, inverting the sign on the terms. This is also called transposing method.

Transposition is a faster method and combines the following two steps, were we to solve the equation by:
i) Subtracting 11 from both sides
ii) Adding 6x to both sides

Therefore, 4x + 6x = 10 - 11

or, 10x = -1

Next, divide both sides by 10, which is the coefficent of x

Note: if a = b, then a ÷ c = b ÷ c

10x/10 = -1/10

x = -1/10 or, x = -0.1

Solve another equation

SELECT: a𝒙 = ba𝒙 + b = ca𝒙 + b = c𝒙 + dMissing value (proportion)

𝒙 =

𝒙 + =

𝒙 + = 𝒙 +

Enter any three values:
/ = /
