Read the question on the picture.

These two lines are congruent (the same) so we can set them equal to each other and solve.
5x-4=3x+6
The first thing we need to do is subtract 3x from both sides leaving us with 2x-4=6
Now we can add 4 to both sides leaving us with 2x=2
Now we need to divide both sides by 2 to get x alone.
Giving us our final answer of x=1
