To work you this out, group the x together and the whole numbers together:
5x +2=10 -3x (+3x on both sides)
5x +3x +2=10
8x +2=10 (-2 on both sides)
8x=10 -2
8x=8 (divide by 8 on both sides)
x= 8/8=1
x=1

5x + 2 = 10 - 3x
+3x + 3x
8x + 2 = 10
- 2 - 2
8x = 8
8x/8 = 8/8
x = 1

You must bring all the numbers with x's to and the numbers on their own to the other side, so:
5x + 2 = 10 - 3x
5x + 3x = 10 - 2
8x = 8
x = 1
Note: When the numbers change side the signs also changes. Hope this helps you.
