The variable #x# equals 10.

Explanation:

First, separate the variable #x#. It's a good idea to get rid of any denominators first, so we multiply both sides by 3. This gives us the equation -4 + #x# = 6. To get rid of -4, we need to add 4 on both sides. The resulting equation and answer is #x# = 10.
