Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

Expand

10 - 6x = x - 12 + 4x

Simplify x - 12 + 4x to 5x - 14

10 - 6x = 5x - 12

Add 6x to both sides

10 = 5x - 12 + 6x

Simplify 5x - 12 + 6x to 11x - 12

10 = 11x - 12

Add 12 to both sides

10 + 12 = 11x

Simplify 10 + 12 to 22

22 = 11x

Divide both sides by 11

22/11 = x

Simplify 22/11 to 2

2 = x

Switch sides

x = 2
