x=-4

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

add similar terms

$\begin{gathered} 3х+2—5х=10 \\ -2x+2=10 \\ \end{gathered}$

Step 2

subtract 2 in both sides

$\begin{gathered} -2x+2=10 \\ -2x+2-2=10-2 \\ -2x=8 \end{gathered}$

Step 3

divide each side by -2

$\begin{gathered} -2x=8 \\ (-2x)/(-2)=(8)/(-2) \\ x=-4 \end{gathered}$
