4n -6 = 10n
Simplify.

n = -1

add 6 to both sides of the equation.

4n − 6 = 10n

4n − 6 + 6 = 10n + 6

simplify.

(add the numbers)

4n − 6 + 6 = 10n + 6

4n = 10n + 6

4n = 10n + 6

subtract 10n from both sides.

4n − 10n = 10n + 6 − 10n

simplify. (again)

(combine like terms)                                          (combine like terms)

4n − 10n = 10n + 6 − 10n                                   −6n = 10n + 6 − 10n

−6n = 6

divide both sides by the same term.

−6n/−6 = 6/-6

n = 6/−6n = 6/−6

simplify. (again)

(cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator)

n = 6/−6

(divide the numbers)

n = 6/−6

n = 1

n= -1

step-by-step explanation:

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2
