More Steps

Simplify

5 x - 105 x

Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients

(5 - 105) x

Subtract the numbers

- 100 x

- 100 x - 10 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- 100 x = 0 + 10

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

- 100 x = 10

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

100 x = - 10

Divide both sides

\frac{100 x}{100} = \frac{- 10}{100}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 10}{100}

Solution

More Steps

Evaluate

\frac{- 10}{100}

Cancel out the common factor 10

\frac{- 1}{10}

Use \frac{- a}{b} = \frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b} to rewrite the fraction

- \frac{1}{10}

x = - \frac{1}{10}

Alternative Form

x = - 0.1
