2x-10=5x-100 Start with the given equation.


2x=5x-100%2B10 Add 10 to both sides.


2x-5x=-100%2B10 Subtract 5x from both sides.


-3x=-100%2B10 Combine like terms on the left side.


-3x=-90 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-90%29%2F%28-3%29 Divide both sides by -3 to isolate x.


x=30 Reduce.
