Answer:

x=-2

Explanation:

Hey there!

In order to solve this equation, you need to combine like terms

The equation after combining the x terms and the contants will look like this

10x+3=12x+7

Now you have to take 10x away from both sides

3=2x+7

Now bring all the constants to the left side

3-7=2x

Simplify

-4=2x

divide 2 on both sides to get x by itself

x=-2

So, the answer is x=-2
