x+10=3x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 24, the least common multiple of 24,8.
x+10-3x=0
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-2x+10=0
Combine x and -3x to get -2x.
-2x=-10
Subtract 10 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-10}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=5
Divide -10 by -2 to get 5.
