Answer:
x = -12
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Subtract 1/10x from both sides.
- [tex]\frac{3}{5}x - 10 - \frac{1}{10}x = \frac{1}{10}x - 16 - \frac{1}{10} x[/tex]
- [tex]\frac{1}{2}x - 10 = -16[/tex]
Step 2: Add 10 to both sides.
- [tex]\frac{1}{2}x - 10 + 10 = -16 + 10[/tex]
- [tex]\frac{1}{2}x = -6[/tex]
Step 3: Multiply both sides by 2.
- [tex]\frac{1}{2}x * 2 = -6 * 2[/tex]
- [tex]x = -12[/tex]
