Solve 3x - 10 = 5 (x - 10)

Evaluate

3 x - 10 = 5 (x - 10)

Expand the expression

More Steps

3 x - 10 = 5 x - 50

Move the expression to the left side

3 x - 10 - 5 x = - 50

Move the expression to the right side

3 x - 5 x = - 50 + 10

Add and subtract

More Steps

- 2 x = - 50 + 10

Add and subtract

- 2 x = - 40

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

2 x = 40

Divide both sides

\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{40}{2}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{40}{2}
