240-\left(-10\right)=\left(\frac{1}{100}x+\frac{1}{10}\right)\left(100-30\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -10 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x+10.
240+10=\left(\frac{1}{100}x+\frac{1}{10}\right)\left(100-30\right)
The opposite of -10 is 10.
250=\left(\frac{1}{100}x+\frac{1}{10}\right)\left(100-30\right)
Add 240 and 10 to get 250.
250=\left(\frac{1}{100}x+\frac{1}{10}\right)\times 70
Subtract 30 from 100 to get 70.
250=\frac{7}{10}x+7
Use the distributive property to multiply \frac{1}{100}x+\frac{1}{10} by 70.
\frac{7}{10}x+7=250
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{7}{10}x=250-7
Subtract 7 from both sides.
\frac{7}{10}x=243
Subtract 7 from 250 to get 243.
x=243\times \frac{10}{7}
Multiply both sides by \frac{10}{7}, the reciprocal of \frac{7}{10}.
x=\frac{2430}{7}
Multiply 243 and \frac{10}{7} to get \frac{2430}{7}.
