Question

How do I solve for x plzzzz help

Answer 1

x = -13

Explanation:

Find LCM for 5 , 10. LCM of 5 , 10= 10

`(x-3)/(5)-(x+1)/(10)= -2\\\\((x-3)*2)/(5*2)-(x+1)/(10)=-2\\\\\\(2x-6)/(10)-(x+1)/(10)\\\\\\(2x - 6 - (x+1))/(10)= -2\\\\\\(2x - 6 - x -1)/(10) = -2\\\\\\(2x -x - 6 - 1)/(10) = -2 \\\\\\(x - 7)/(10) = -2\\\\\`

Cross multiply,

x - 7 = -2 * 10

x - 7 = -20

x = -20 + 7

x = -13
