anonymous · Answer

First solve the equation:
5x + 3(x - 1) = 10x - 2x - 3

Start with 3(x - 1) what is that?

anonymous · Answer

idk what x is

anonymous · Answer

your just multiplying it so it would be 3x-3

anonymous · Answer

um

anonymous · Answer

the x is confusing me

anonymous · Answer

first you have to simplify each side which is 5x+3x-3=10x-2x-3
Then you combine like terms so its 8x-3=8x-3. Since both sides are identical, there are infinite solutions

anonymous · Answer

Now, you have 5x - 3x - 3 = 10x - 2x - 3

anonymous · Answer

Put all the same type variables on one side:
5x - 3x - 2x + 10x = -3 - 3

anonymous · Answer

Now simplify that:
10x = -6

Divide 10/6 = 1 2/3
No solution.
