First, distribute the fraction across the parentheses: $\frac{3}{10} * 3 - \frac{3}{10} * 2x = 3$, which simplifies to $\frac{9}{10} - \frac{6}{10}x = 3$. Then, subtract $\frac{9}{10}$ from both sides to get $-\frac{6}{10}x = \frac{21}{10}$. Finally, divide both sides by $-\frac{6}{10}$ to solve for $x$, resulting in $x = -3.5$.

Solve the Equation 310(3−2x)=3\frac { 3 } { 10 } ( 3 - 2 x ) = 3103​(3−2x)=3
