x%2B10=6x%2B45 Start with the given equation.


x=6x%2B45-10 Subtract 10 from both sides.


x-6x=45-10 Subtract 6x from both sides.


-5x=45-10 Combine like terms on the left side.


-5x=35 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2835%29%2F%28-5%29 Divide both sides by -5 to isolate x.


x=-7 Reduce.
