Solve for x y=10x-4x

$y = 10 x - 4 x$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $10 x - 4 x = y$ .

$10 x - 4 x = y$

Step 2

Subtract $4 x$ from $10 x$ .

$6 x = y$

Step 3

Divide each term in $6 x = y$ by $6$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $6 x = y$ by $6$ .

$\frac{6 x}{6} = \frac{y}{6}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $6$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{6 x}{6} = \frac{y}{6}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{y}{6}$
