# 2



{{{10-3(x+2)=31}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{10-3x-6=31}}} Distribute.



{{{-3x+4=31}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-3x=31-4}}} Subtract {{{4}}} from both sides.



{{{-3x=27}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(27)/(-3)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-3}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-9}}} Reduce.
