If x + 3 = 10, what is the value of x?

The correct answer is: 7

To find the value of $ x $ in the equation $ x + 3 = 10 $, we need to isolate $ x $ on one side of the equation. To do this, we can subtract 3 from both sides: \[ x + 3 - 3 = 10 - 3 \] This simplifies to: \[ x = 7 \] Thus, the value of $ x $ is 7. This solution is correct because it clearly shows the process of isolating $ x $ by performing the same operation on both sides of the equation, which is a fundamental principle in solving equations.
