<PRE><B>Question 132601</B>

{{{-7x+2+x-10=-3(x-1)}}} Start with the given equation




{{{-7x+2+x-10=-3x+3}}} Distribute



{{{-6x-8=-3x+3}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{-6x=-3x+3+8}}}Add 8 to both sides



{{{-6x+3x=3+8}}} Add 3x to both sides



{{{-3x=3+8}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{-3x=11}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{x=(11)/(-3)}}} Divide both sides by -3 to isolate x




{{{x=-11/3}}} Reduce


--------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is {{{x=-11/3}}}  (which is approximately {{{x=-3.667}}} in decimal form)
