2x-3 = 10x-99

start by moving the terms with variables (x) on one side of the equal sign, and the constants (regular number, with no variables) to the other side. Do this by addition and subtraction.

2x-3 = 10x-99

+99 +99

now you have

2x +96= 10x

now get both of the variables on the right side

2x+96 = 10x

-2x -2x

now you have

96 = 8x

now solve for x by dividing each side by 8

96/8 = 8x/8

x= 12
