Answer:

x = -6; the number is -6!

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a somewhat wordy question, but it is actually easy to solve once you write it down!

It should look like this:

5x-2=7x+10

See? It's simple! Now we just solve from there.

5x-2=7x+10\\-2x-2=10\\-2x=12\\x=-6

BIG POINTS!!!+BRAINLIEST ANSWER!!! BONUS!!!
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

let number of questions in the test be x

9 of the first 10 questions are correct

so only x-10 questions remain

3/10 of the (x-10) = 3/10(x-10) questions are correct

scored 50% for the whole test

so only half of x = x/2 questions are correct

combining the above:

9+3/10(x-10) = x/2

9+3/10x-3=x/2

9-3=(1/2-3/10)x

1/5x=6

x=30
