Cancel xx on both sides.

3x-x+3-5-x=103x-x+3-5-x=10

3x-x+3-5-x3x-x+3-5-x to x-2x-2.

x-2=10x-2=10

3 Add 22 to both sides.

x=10+2x=10+2

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

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

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

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

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

(3x+-x+x+-x) + (3+-5) = x+10 (Combine Like Terms)

2x+-2=x+10

2x-2=x+10

Step 2: Subtract x from both sides.

2x-2-x=x+10-x

x-2=10

Step 3: Add 2 to both sides.

x-2+2=10+2

x=12
