Answer:

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.

-70 + 5x + -3x = -10 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 5x + -3x = 2x

-70 + 2x = -10 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

-70 + 2x = -10 + 0

-70 + 2x = -10

Add '70' to each side of the equation.

-70 + 70 + 2x = -10 + 70

Combine like terms: -70 + 70 = 0

0 + 2x = -10 + 70

2x = -10 + 70

Combine like terms: -10 + 70 = 60

2x = 60

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 30

Simplifying

x = 30
