1. Problem Description

The problem is to solve the linear equation 3x+2=10x5-3x + 2 = -10x - 5 for xx.

2. Solution Steps

We want to isolate xx on one side of the equation.
First, we add 10x10x to both sides of the equation:
3x+2+10x=10x5+10x-3x + 2 + 10x = -10x - 5 + 10x
7x+2=57x + 2 = -5
Next, we subtract 2 from both sides of the equation:
7x+22=527x + 2 - 2 = -5 - 2
7x=77x = -7
Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 7:
7x7=77\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{-7}{7}
x=1x = -1

3. Final Answer

The solution is x=1x = -1.
