Remember you can group numbers and terms together and that you can move things to the other side of the equation sign by changing its sign.

not true ash

you subtract for from both sides

ash2326 · Answer

$$16=4x-4$$
$$16+4=4x-4+4$$

ash2326 · Answer

@andriod09 there you see, I have added 4 to both the sides

ash2326 · Answer

@DB9898 could you take it from here?

andriod09 · Answer

16+10x=14x-4
-04        =      -4
 14+10x=14x
-14        =      -14
        10x=14x-14
