Solve -3-2x+1/10=1

$$- 3 - \frac { 2 x + 1 } { 10 } = 1$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{41}{2} = -20\frac{1}{2} = -20.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 10.

$$-30-\left(2x+1\right)=10$$

To find the opposite of 2x+1, find the opposite of each term.

$$-30-2x-1=10$$

Subtract 1 from -30 to get -31.

$$-31-2x=10$$

Add 31 to both sides.

$$-2x=10+31$$

Add 10 and 31 to get 41.

$$-2x=41$$

Divide both sides by -2.

$$x=\frac{41}{-2}$$

Fraction \frac{41}{-2} can be rewritten as -\frac{41}{2} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{41}{2}$$
