Answer:

x= 8

Explanation:

2(3x-5)+4x-10=4x+2(x+6)

Cancel equal terms on both sides of the equation

2(3x-5)-10= 2(x+6)

Distribute 2 through the parenthesis

6x-10-10= 2x+12

Calculate the difference

6x-10-10= 2x+12

6x-20= 2x+12

Move variable to the left-hand side and change its sign

6x-20= 2x+12

-2x -2x

4x-20= 12

Add 20 to both sides.

4x-20= 12

+20 +20

4x= 32

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

4x= 32

4 4

x= 8
