2x%2B9=10x%2B3 Start with the given equation.


2x=10x%2B3-9 Subtract 9 from both sides.


2x-10x=3-9 Subtract 10x from both sides.


-8x=3-9 Combine like terms on the left side.


-8x=-6 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-6%29%2F%28-8%29 Divide both sides by -8 to isolate x.


x=3%2F4 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is x=3%2F4
