What is the result after adding 4 to both sides of the equation 5x - 4 = 6?

• x = 10

• x = 2

• 5x = 10

• 5x = 2

What is the next step after obtaining 5x = 10?

• Dividing both sides by 5

• Multiplying both sides by 5

• Adding 5 to both sides

• Subtracting 5 from both sides

What property justifies dividing both sides of an equation by the same quantity?

• Division property of equality

• Addition property of equality

• Multiplication property of equality

• Subtraction property of equality

What is the final value of x in the equation 5x - 4 = 6?

• x = 4

• x = 3

• x = 2

• x = 1
