Answer:

[tex]x=-\frac{83}{7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

use distributive property:

[tex]10x+80=3x-3[/tex]

you have to move all the terms with [tex]x[/tex] to the left side of the equation:

subtract 3x from both sides

[tex]10x+80-3x=-3[/tex]

combine like terms

[tex]7x+80=-3[/tex]

subtract 80 from both sides

[tex]7x=-3-80[/tex]

[tex]7x=-83[/tex]

divide each term by 7

[tex]\frac{7x}{7} =\frac{-83}{7}[/tex]

[tex]x=-\frac{83}{7}[/tex]
