Answer

$-1$

Work Step by Step

The given expression, $ \dfrac{3+2x}{10-x}+\dfrac{13+x}{x-10} ,$ simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{3+2x}{10-x}+\dfrac{13+x}{-(10-x)} \\\\= \dfrac{3+2x}{10-x}-\dfrac{13+x}{10-x} \\\\= \dfrac{3+2x-(13+x)}{10-x} \\\\= \dfrac{3+2x-13-x}{10-x} \\\\= \dfrac{-10+x}{10-x} \\\\= \dfrac{-(10-x)}{10-x} \\\\= \dfrac{-(\cancel{10-x})}{\cancel{10-x}} \\\\= -1 .\end{array}
