-6%28x-10%29=-54...first multiply

-6%2Ax-6%28-10%29=-54

-6x%2B60=-54...........add 6x to the both sides

-6x%2B6x%2B60=-54%2B6x

-cross%286x%29%2Bcross%286x%29%2B60=-54%2B6x

60=-54%2B6x..........add 54 to the both sides

60%2B54=-54%2B54%2B6x

60%2B54=-cross%2854%29%2Bcross%2854%29%2B6x

114=6x

114%2F6=x

highlight%28x=19%29

check:
-6%28x-10%29=-54......plug in x

-6%2819-10%29=-54
-6%289%29=-54
-54=-54
