{{{3x-2(5-4x)=12}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{3x-10+8x=12}}} Distribute.



{{{11x-10=12}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{11x=12+10}}} Add {{{10}}} to both sides.



{{{11x=22}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(22)/(11)}}} Divide both sides by {{{11}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=2}}} Reduce.
