Answer: Infinite many solutions

Explanation:

Given

5x+3(x-1)=10x-2x-3

Expand Parenthesis

5x+3x-3=10x-2x-3

Combine like terms

8x-3=8x-3

Subtract 8x on both sides

8x-3-8x=8x-3-8x

-3=-3

Add 3 on both sides

-3+3=-3+3

0=0

Any number will work on both sides, therefore, there are infinite solutions

Hope this helps!!: )
