Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for x you first isolate the variable you want on one side. We will do this by using PEMDAS and expanding our terms fully first before we move our terms around.
[tex]-2(x-4)=10x+2\\-2x-8=10x+2[/tex]
We then isolate our term, remember to add numbers and variables to both sides so you aren't changing the value of the equation, and solve for x.[tex]-2x-8=10x+2\\-2x-8-2+2x=10x+2-2+2x\\-10=12x\\\frac{-10}{12}=x\\\frac{-6}{5}=x\\-1.2=x\\[/tex]
