#x = 19#

Explanation:

Given: #-89 - 4x = -10x + 25#

Add 89 to both sides of the equation:

#-4x = -10x + 114#

Add 10x to both sides of the equation:

#6x = 114#

Divide both sides by 6:

#6x = 114#

#x = 19#

#x=19#

Explanation:

We want all of our #x# terms on one side, and our constants on the other. Let's start by adding #89# to both sides:

#-4x=-10x+114#

To get our #x# terms on one side, let's add #10x# to both sides. We now have the following:

#6x=114#

Lastly, we can divide both sides by #6# to get

#x=19#

Hope this helps!
