Hi there!

To find this, do these steps.

1: Multiply both sides by x - 10. (396/x-10 cancels out to 396.)

396 = -22(x-10)

2: Divide both sides by -22. (-22 itself cancels out)

-396/22=x-10

3: Do -396/22. (-18)

-18 = x - 10

4: Add 10 to both sides..

-18 + 10 = x

5: Do the addition. (-8)

-8 = x.

6: Flip, if necessary.

x = -8.

Hope this helps!! ♥♥

Your equation is 396/x-10=-22
Multiply: 396= -22(x-10)
Simplify: 396= -22x +220
Subtract: 396-220= -22x
Simplify: -22x=176
Divide: x=176/-22
Simplify: x= -8
Your answer is x= -8
Hope this helps!
