Presumably this is an equation asking you to find the value of x 10-3x = 2x-8x+40 Arrange all like terms on the left and right hand sides remembering to change signs: 8x-3x-2x = 40-10 Simplified: 3x = 30 Divide both sides by 3 for the solution: x = 10 Check that answer is correct by substituting 10 for x in the original equation.
