Answer:

5.33333333...

Explanation:

it will be like -5 out the bracket x - 3 x which gives you 15 then we'll check again - 5 then you times it by there 10 in the bracket and then it gives you 50 and then it will be there in 15 x - 50 equals to 30 then you take the -50 to the other side where there is 30

then it will be 15 x equals to 30 + 50 and then then 15 x equals to 8 and then you divide both of the sides with 15 then get your answer

-5 (-3x+10)=30

15x-50=30

15x=30+50

15x/15=80/15

x=5.33333...
