Answer:

x=6

Explanation:

Group Like Terms:

3x+x+30=10+2x+5x+2

Add similar elements 3x+x=4x:

4x+30=10+2x+5x+2

Add similar elements 2x+5x=7x:

4x+30=10+7x+2

Group like terms:

4x+30=7x+10+2

Add the numbers 10+2=12:

4x+30=7x+12

Subtract 30 from both sides:

4x+30-30=7x+12-30

Simplify:

4x=7x-18

Subtract 7x from both sides:

4x-7x=7x-18-7x

Simplify:

-3x=-18

Divide both sides by -3:


(-3x)/(-3) =(-18)/(-3)

Simplify:

x=6

Hence, the correct answer is 6
