Step 1. Given Information.

The given equation is $10 - 3 x = 37$ .

Step 2. Calculation.

Solve the given equation by shifting the constant from left hand side to right hand side.

$\begin{matrix} 10 - 3 x = 37 \\ - 3 x = 37 - 10 \\ - 3 x = 27 \end{matrix}$

Divide the equation by -3.

$\begin{matrix} \frac{- 3 x}{- 3} = \frac{27}{- 3} \\ x = - 9 \end{matrix}$

Hence, the value of x after solving the equation is -9.

Step 3. Check the answer.

Substitute -9 for x in the given equation

$\begin{matrix} 10 - 3 (- 9) = 37 \\ 10 + 27 = 37 \\ 37 = 37 \end{matrix}$

Since left side is equal to right side. Therefor the solution of the equation is -9
