Step-by-step explanation:

3x-1=10x

Collecting like terms, that is numbers without letters to one side of the equation and numbers with laters to the other side

-1 = 10x - 3x

(-3x because as it crosses the equal to sign, = it becomes negative)

-1 = 7x

-1/7 = 7x/7 ( dividing both sides by 7 to make x be without a number)

-1/7=x

x = - 1/7

3x - 1 = 10x

Get x on one side by subtracting 3x

-1 = 7x

Divide by 7

-1/7 = x
