# x = \frac{38}{10} = \frac{19}{5} = 3.8 #

Explanation:

Property of Equality:
Adding a number to both sides of a equation will not change the equality:
#10x - 3 + 3 = 35 +3 #
# 10x = 38 #

Multiplying a number to both sides of a equation will also not change the equality:
# 10x * \frac{1}{10} = 38 * \frac{1}{10} #
# x = 38 * \frac{1}{10} #
# x = \frac{38}{10} = \frac{19}{5} = 3.8 #
