6%282x%2B1%29-3%284x-3%29-%286x%2B10%29=-%284x-3%29%2B3 Start with the given equation.


12x%2B6-12x%2B9-6x-10=-4x%2B3%2B3 Distribute.


-6x%2B5=-4x%2B3%2B3 Combine like terms on the left side.


-6x%2B5=-4x%2B6 Combine like terms on the right side.


-6x=-4x%2B6-5 Subtract 5 from both sides.


-6x%2B4x=6-5 Add 4x to both sides.


-2x=6-5 Combine like terms on the left side.


-2x=1 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%281%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2 to isolate x.


x=-1%2F2 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is x=-1%2F2
