3%28x%2B2%29-2%283x-5%29=10 Start with the given equation.


3x%2B6-6x%2B10=10 Distribute.


-3x%2B16=10 Combine like terms on the left side.


-3x=10-16 Subtract 16 from both sides.


-3x=-6 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-6%29%2F%28-3%29 Divide both sides by -3 to isolate x.


x=2 Reduce.
