10%28x%2B6%29=5x-6 Start with the given equation.


10x%2B60=5x-6 Distribute.


10x=5x-6-60 Subtract 60 from both sides.


10x-5x=-6-60 Subtract 5x from both sides.


5x=-6-60 Combine like terms on the left side.


5x=-66 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-66%29%2F%285%29 Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x.
