3-4x=10x%2B10 Start with the given equation.


-4x=10x%2B10-3 Subtract 3 from both sides.


-4x-10x=10-3 Subtract 10x from both sides.


-14x=10-3 Combine like terms on the left side.


-14x=7 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%287%29%2F%28-14%29 Divide both sides by -14 to isolate x.


x=-1%2F2 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is x=-1%2F2
