Answer:

2x-8+3x+2=4x+10+3x-6

We move all terms to the left:

2x-8+3x+2-(4x+10+3x-6)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

2x+3x-(7x+4)-8+2=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

5x-(7x+4)-6=0

We get rid of parentheses

5x-7x-4-6=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-2x-10=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

-2x=10

x=10/-2

x=-5
