How do I solve this equation? Please, if you will, explain.

3x − 3 − 12x − 10 = 41

I know about combining like terms, and this is one of those equations, but since it is subtraction, would something be different? Would I still subtract in the same order such as 3-10?

Yes, but your answer will be a decimal, but make sure you check your work and one way you can check your work is by first combing like terms, and then solve it as it is an equation.

yes u just need to combine the terms like this: 3x - 12x = 41 + 10 + 3 next line will be -9x = 54 then x = -54/9 which will be = -6
