Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given an equation
. We are asked to solve our given equation.
First of all, we will combine like terms on right side of equation.
![5x+2(x-4)=6x-10](/tpl/images/0352/2825/d19ed.png)
Using distributive property, we will get:
![5x+2*x-2*4=6x-10](/tpl/images/0352/2825/7de23.png)
![5x+2x-8=6x-10](/tpl/images/0352/2825/e7693.png)
![7x-8=6x-10](/tpl/images/0352/2825/bf2a8.png)
Subtract 6x from both sides:
![7x-6x-8=6x-6x-10](/tpl/images/0352/2825/3c856.png)
![x-8=-10](/tpl/images/0352/2825/87fe6.png)
Add 8 on both sides:
![x-8+8=-10+8](/tpl/images/0352/2825/0db23.png)
![x=-2](/tpl/images/0352/2825/7b747.png)
Therefore, the solution for our given equation is
.
