Start Equation: Start with the equation 10=−3+x. To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. We can do this by adding 3 to both sides of the equation to cancel out the −3 on the right side. 10=−3+x10+3=−3+x+3
Addition to Isolate x: Simplify both sides of the equation.10+3=−3+x+3 simplifies to 13=x.
Simplify Equation: Check the solution by substituting the value of x back into the original equation.10=−3+(13)10=10Since both sides of the equation are equal, the solution x=13 is correct.
