10 - x = -34 - 5x
Add x to both sides
10 = -34 - 4x
Add 34 to both sides
44 = -4x
Divide both sides by -4
-11 = x

Hey there!
Here's the answer.
10-x=-34-5x --> Write the problem.
44-x=-5x --> Add 34 on both sides of the equation.
44=-4x --> Add x on both sides of the equation.
-11=x --> Divide -4 on both sides of the equation.
x=-11 --> Use the symmetric property of equality i.e. if a=b, then b=a.
So the answer is x=-11.
Hope it helps!

10-x = -34-5x
10+34 = x-5x
44 = -4x
x = 44/(-4)
x = -11

Simplify by subtracting "-x" from both sides and adding 34 to both sides and becomes "44 = -4x"
Divide and it solves to -11

10-x=-34-5x
Take similar terms onto one side:
5x - x = -34 - 10
4x = - 44
thus,
x= -11 ............ANS
hope this helps!

10 - x + 5x = - 34
10 + 4x = - 34
4x = - 34 - 10
4x = - 44
x = - 11

move like terms -> -x+5x=-34-10
simplify -> 4x=-44
divide both sides by 4
the answer is
x=-11
