Evaluate
10x−3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
10x=0+3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
10x=3
Divide both sides
1010x=103
Divide the numbers
x=103

Evaluate
10x+1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
10x=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
10x=−1
Divide both sides
1010x=10−1
Divide the numbers
x=10−1
