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


10x-50=-3x-12 Distribute.


10x=-3x-12%2B50 Add 50 to both sides.


10x%2B3x=-12%2B50 Add 3x to both sides.


13x=-12%2B50 Combine like terms on the left side.


13x=38 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2838%29%2F%2813%29 Divide both sides by 13 to isolate x.
