x-10=3x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 15, the least common multiple of 15,3,5.
x-10-3x=0
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-2x-10=0
Combine x and -3x to get -2x.
-2x=10
Add 10 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{10}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=-5
Divide 10 by -2 to get -5.
