______________________________
- This is another way of saying multiply each side by -1.
- Since we have 2 negatives next to each other, one must be turned into a positive, in this case it's the x.
- Combine them because you can only have one variable (x) in the end.
- We do this to get rid of not only the 10 but the other numbers as well, and the only way to do so it to cancel them out.
- We do this to get x alone with one number left over, and the only way to do so is to cancel everything out by dividing.
