1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to solve the linear equation 10+3(x2)=mx+310 + 3(x - 2) = mx + 3 for xx, where mm is a real parameter.

2. Solution Steps

First, we simplify the left-hand side of the equation:
10+3(x2)=10+3x6=3x+410 + 3(x - 2) = 10 + 3x - 6 = 3x + 4.
So the equation becomes 3x+4=mx+33x + 4 = mx + 3.
Now, we want to isolate xx. We can rearrange the terms to group the xx terms together:
3xmx=343x - mx = 3 - 4.
(3m)x=1(3 - m)x = -1.
Now, if 3m03 - m \neq 0, we can divide both sides by (3m)(3 - m) to solve for xx:
x=13m=1m3x = \frac{-1}{3 - m} = \frac{1}{m - 3}.
If 3m=03 - m = 0, then m=3m = 3, and the equation becomes:
(33)x=1(3 - 3)x = -1,
0x=10x = -1,
0=10 = -1.
This equation has no solution.

3. Final Answer

If m3m \neq 3, then x=1m3x = \frac{1}{m - 3}.
If m=3m = 3, there is no solution.
