Reorder the terms: 10 + -5x = 21 Solve 10 + -5x = 21 Solve for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-10' to each side of the equation. 10 + -10 + -5x = 21 + -10 Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0 0 + -5x = 21 + -10 -5x = 21 + -10 Combine like terms: 21 + -10 = 11 -5x = 11 Divide each side by '-5'. x = -2.2 Simplify x = -2.2
