3x+1/10=x-1/7 what is x explain how you got the answer

To solve for 'x' we first collect simmilar terms. In this case I'll collect 'x'-terms on the left and non-'x'-terms on the right.

Start by subtracting 1/10 from both sides:

and simplify:



We now have all non-'x'-terms on the right. We can get all the 'x' terms on the left by subtracting 'x' from both sides:


and simplifying:


Then we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 2:

and simplifying:

Using the rise/run rule. you would get 2/6.simp. 1/3
