$\"-10x-6%2B4x=-4x%2B8\"$ Start with the given equation.

$\"-6-6x=-4x%2B8\"$ Combine like terms on the left side.

$\"-6x=-4x%2B8%2B6\"$ Add $\"6\"$ to both sides.

$\"-6x%2B4x=8%2B6\"$ Add $\"4x\"$ to both sides.

$\"-2x=8%2B6\"$ Combine like terms on the left side.

$\"-2x=14\"$ Combine like terms on the right side.

$\"x=%2814%29%2F%28-2%29\"$ Divide both sides by $\"-2\"$ to isolate $\"x\"$ .

$\"x=-7\"$ Reduce.
