Step 1: Distribute the numbers outside the parentheses to each number inside the parentheses

(2 * x) + (2 * 5) = (3 * x) + (-4 * 3)

2x + 10 = 3x - 12

Step 2: Combine like terms

2x goes with 3x. To do this subtract 2x to both sides (subtraction is the opposite of addition)

(2x - 2x) + 10 = (3x - 2x) - 12

0 + 10 = x - 12

10 = x - 12

10 goes with -12. To do this add 12 to both sides (addition is the opposite of subtraction)

10 + 12 = x + (-12 + 12)

22 = x + 0

22 = x

Check:

2(22 + 5) = 3(22 - 4)

2(27) = 3(18)

54 = 54

Hope this helped!

Alex_Xolod [135]

The first step to solve this problem is to find 10% of 3,500. To do this you would set up the equation x/3,500=10/100. You then multiply 3,500 by 10, getting 35,000, then divide that by 100. The 10% would then be 350. Finally, you would subtract 350 from 3,500, getting 3,150 as your final answer.
