x =
submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Distribute the negative and the 3

$-10x - 10 = 7 - 30x - 24$

Step2: Simplify the right side

$-10x - 10 = -30x - 17$

Step3: Add 30x to both sides

$20x - 10 = -17$

Step4: Add 10 to both sides

$20x = -7$

Step5: Divide both sides by 20

$x = -\frac{7}{20}$

Answer:

$-\frac{7}{20}$
