Solved by pluggable solver: Linear Equation Solver

$\"3%28x%2B2%29%2B4%28x-5%29=10\"$ Start with the given equation.

$\"3x%2B6%2B4x-20=10\"$ Distribute.

$\"7x-14=10\"$ Combine like terms on the left side.

$\"7x=10%2B14\"$ Add $\"14\"$ to both sides.

$\"7x=24\"$ Combine like terms on the right side.

$\"x=%2824%29%2F%287%29\"$ Divide both sides by $\"7\"$ to isolate $\"x\"$ .
