Solve for the value of x
[tex]\large\bold\blue{\tt{SOLUTION:}}[/tex]
[tex] \large \tt5x + 10 = 3x - 20 \\ \\ \large \tt5x - 3x = - 20 - 10 \\ \\ \large \tt2x = - 30 \\ \\ \large \tt \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{ - 30}{2} \\ \\ \large{ \boxed{ \tt{x = - 15}}}[/tex]
[tex]\large\bold\blue{\tt{CHECKING:}}[/tex]
if x = –15
[tex] \large \tt5x + 10 = 3x - 20 \\ \\ \large \tt5( - 15) + 10 = 3( - 15) - 20 \\ \\ \large \tt - 75 + 10 = - 45 - 20 \\ \\ \large \tt - 65 = - 65 \\ \\ true[/tex]
