Answer 1

Checking 10:

If you plug 10 into the rightmost-angle expression:
[6(x-10)] = [6(10-10)] = 6(0) = 0

So I don't think it's 10.

You set up your equation like

3x - 3 = [6(x-10)]

right?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

how bout 60 ?

Answer 4

If I were to solve this:
3x - 3 = 6(x-10) <-- given
3x - 3 = 6x - 60 <-- distributive property of equality
3x - 3 + 60 = 6x <-- added both sides by 60
-3 + 60 = 6x - 3x <-- subtracted both sides by 3x
57 = 3x <-- simplfied
(57/3) = x <-- divided both sides by 3

57/3 should give an answer. Try that out.



Also if you've had plugged (60) into the equation to check it, it'd be way off.
