\begin{gathered} -4(3-3x)=4+10x \\ \text{Solving for x:} \\ \text{ Using distributive property:} \\ -12+12x=4+10x \\ \text{Subtract 10x from both sides:} \\ -12+12x-10x=4+10x-10x \\ 2x-12=4 \\ \text{Add 12 to both sides:} \\ 2x-12+12=4+12 \\ 2x=16 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 2:} \\ (2x)/(2)=(16)/(2) \\ x=8 \end{gathered}
