7x%2B3=10x-15 Start with the given equation.


7x=10x-15-3 Subtract 3 from both sides.


7x-10x=-15-3 Subtract 10x from both sides.


-3x=-15-3 Combine like terms on the left side.


-3x=-18 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-18%29%2F%28-3%29 Divide both sides by -3 to isolate x.


x=6 Reduce.
