7x-5%2B3x=6%2Bx-10 Start with the given equation



10x-5=6%2Bx-10 Combine like terms on the left side


10x-5=x-4 Combine like terms on the right side


10x=x-4%2B5Add 5 to both sides


10x-x=-4%2B5 Subtract x from both sides


9x=-4%2B5 Combine like terms on the left side


9x=1 Combine like terms on the right side


x=%281%29%2F%289%29 Divide both sides by 9 to isolate x



x=1%2F9 Reduce

Answer:
So our answer is x=1%2F9 (which is approximately x=0.111111111111111 in decimal form)
