Answer 1

X = 4

Explanation

Rearrange unknown terms to the left side of the equation: -3x + 10x = 30 - 2

Combine like terms: 7x = 30 - 2

Calculate the sum or difference: 7x = 28

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of variable: x = 28 / 7

Cross out the common factor: x = 4

Answer: x = 4
