Answer:

The value of x is -4/5.

Explanation:

First, you have to get rid of brackets, by expanding out :

2(6x+10) - 3x = 10 - (x-2)

2(6x) + 2(10) - 3x = 10 - x + 2

12x + 20 - 3x = 10 - x + 2

Next, is to bring all the x variable to one side :

12x + 20 - 3x = 10 - x + 2

12x - 3x + x = 10 + 2 - 20

10x = -8

Lastly, is to solve it by dividing 10 to both sides :

10x = -8

10x ÷ 10 = -8 ÷ 10

x = -4/5
