Solve (x - 3) 2 = (x 10) 2

Evaluate

(x - 3) \times 2 = (x \times 10) \times 2

Remove the parentheses

(x - 3) \times 2 = x \times 10 \times 2

Simplify

x - 3 = x \times 10

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

x - 3 = 10 x

Move the variable to the left side

x - 3 - 10 x = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

- 9 x - 3 = 0

Move the constant to the right side

- 9 x = 0 + 3

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 9 x = 3

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

9 x = - 3

Divide both sides

\frac{9 x}{9} = \frac{- 3}{9}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 3}{9}

Solution
