5%282x-1%29%2B3=4x%2B2x%2B10 Start with the given equation.


10x-5%2B3=4x%2B2x%2B10 Distribute.


10x-2=4x%2B2x%2B10 Combine like terms on the left side.


10x-2=6x%2B10 Combine like terms on the right side.


10x=6x%2B10%2B2 Add 2 to both sides.


10x-6x=10%2B2 Subtract 6x from both sides.


4x=10%2B2 Combine like terms on the left side.


4x=12 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2812%29%2F%284%29 Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x.


x=3 Reduce.
