-x − 10 = -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, so you are trying to solve for x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add 10 to both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

−x=−3+10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First off, add 10. See, you do the opposite of the number. The number is -10 (because of the minus (-) sign.)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then simplify −x=7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you have -x = 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=−7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now to get rid of the negativ, just multiply both sides by -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=-7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And if you check your answer, you see it equals -3. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is -7
