Answer:

x =
-(45)/(15)

Explanation:

We have the equation: 3 +
(3)/(4) x =
(7)/(10)

Move the constant (in this case the constant is 3) to the right side of the equation, changing its sign


(3)/(4) x =
(7)/(10) - 3

Calculate the difference.


(3)/(4) x =
-(23)/(10)

Divide.

(when dividing two fractions, you can change it to a multiplication problem by switching the numerator and denominator of the divisor.)

So, we get the equation
-(23)/(10) x
(4)/(3) which is
-(45)/(15) .

I hope this helps!
