2x%2B10-2=5x-3 Start with the given equation.


2x%2B8=5x-3 Combine like terms on the left side.


2x=5x-3-8 Subtract 8 from both sides.


2x-5x=-3-8 Subtract 5x from both sides.


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


-3x=-11 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-11%29%2F%28-3%29 Divide both sides by -3 to isolate x.


x=11%2F3 Reduce.
