Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
2x + 6 + -10x = 30
Reorder the terms:
6 + 2x + -10x = 30
Combine like terms: 2x + -10x = -8x
6 + -8x = 30
Solving
6 + -8x = 30
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + -8x = 30 + -6
Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + -8x = 30 + -6
-8x = 30 + -6
Combine like terms: 30 + -6 = 24
-8x = 24
Divide each side by '-8'.
x = -3
Simplifying
x = -3
