0.3x%2B3=30 Start with the given equation.


10%280.3x%2B3%29=10%2830%29 Multiply both sides by 10 to clear out the decimals.


3x%2B30=300 Distribute and multiply.


3x=300-30 Subtract 30 from both sides.


3x=270 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28270%29%2F%283%29 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x.


x=90 Reduce.
