3x-10 = 11 x-50
please show me the steps to solve this problem  thank you

3x - 10 = 11x - 50
3x - 10 - 11x = 11x - 50 - 11x
-8x - 10 = -50
-8x - 10 + 10 = -50 + 10
-8x = -40
-8x / -8 = -40 / -8
x = 5

Of course, you should always check your work.

3x - 10 = 11x - 50
3(5) - 10 = 11(5) - 50
15 - 10 = 55 - 50
5 = 5

It checks. x = 5
