+-4%2A%28+5+-+2x+%29+-+10x+=+6+
+-20+%2B+8x+-+10x+=+6+
Add +20+ to both sides
+8x+-+10x+=+6+%2B+20+
+-2x+=+26+
Multiply both sides by +-1+
+2x+=+-26+
Divide both sides by +2+
+x+=+-13+
------------------------------------
check answer:
+-4%2A%28+5+-+2x+%29+-+10x+=+6+
+-4%2A%28+5+-+2%2A%28-13%29+%29+-+10%2A%28-13%29+=+6+
+-4%2A%28+5+%2B+26+%29+%2B+130+=+6+
+-4%2A31+%2B+130+=+6+
+-124+%2B+130+=+6+
+6+=+6+
OK
