Help

Answer 1

(7x - 5)

Explanation:

If you are asking what I think you're asking, you subtract that (-3x) from the 4x and you subract the 5 from the 10. Getting (7x - 5)

Answer 2

x= -15 or (7x+5)

Explanation:

Simplifying

4x + 10 = 3x + -5

Reorder the terms:

10 + 4x = 3x + -5

Reorder the terms:

10 + 4x = -5 + 3x

Solving

10 + 4x = -5 + 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.

10 + 4x + -3x = -5 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 4x + -3x = 1x

10 + 1x = -5 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

10 + 1x = -5 + 0

10 + 1x = -5

Add '-10' to each side of the equation.

10 + -10 + 1x = -5 + -10

Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0

0 + 1x = -5 + -10

1x = -5 + -10

Combine like terms: -5 + -10 = -15

1x = -15

Divide each side by '1'.

x = -15

Simplifying

x = -15
