Question 514056
{{{x-2(x+10)=12}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{x-2x-20=12}}} Distribute.



{{{-x-20=12}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-x=12+20}}} Add {{{20}}} to both sides.



{{{-x=32}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(32)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-32}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=-32}}}
