100-6x= 160 -10
⇒ 100 -6x= 150
⇒ -6x= 150 -100
⇒ -6x= 50
⇒ x= 50/(-6)
⇒ x= -25/3
⇒ x= -8 1/3

Final answer: x= -8 1/3.

100-6x=160-10 \\ \\ 100 - 6x = 150 \ / \ simplify \\ \\ -6x = 150 - 100 \ / \ subtract \ 100 \ from \ each \ side \\ \\ -6x = 50 \ / \ simplify \\ \\ x = -(50)/(6) \ / \ divide \ each \ side \ by \ -6 \\ \\ x = -(25)/(3) \\ \\

The final result is x = - 25/3 or x = -8.3333.
