How do I solve for x plzzzz help

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -13

Step-by-step explanation:

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

$\frac{x-3}{5}-\frac{x+1}{10}= -2\\\\\frac{(x-3)*2}{5*2}-\frac{x+1}{10}=-2\\\\\\\frac{2x-6}{10}-\frac{x+1}{10}\\\\\\\frac{2x - 6 - (x+1)}{10}= -2\\\\\\\frac{2x - 6 - x -1}{10} = -2\\\\\\\frac{2x -x - 6 - 1}{10} = -2 \\\\\\\frac{x - 7}{10} = -2$

Cross multiply,

x - 7 = -2 * 10

x - 7 = -20

     x = -20 + 7

    x = -13
