First, combine like terms-7x - 3x = -10x-10x + 2 = -8x - 8Isolate the x. Add 8x to both sides, and subtract 2 from both sides-10x (+8x) + 2 (-2) = -8x (+8x) - 8 (-2)-10x + 8x = -8 - 2Simplify. Combine like terms-2x = -10Isolate the x. Divide 2 from both sides(-2x)/-2 = (-10)/-2x = -10/-2x = 55is your answer for x---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------~Rise Above the Ordinary, Senpai...
