Question
Solve the equation
Solve for x
x=7
Evaluate
−2(3−2x)−10=12
Move the expression to the left side
−2(3−2x)−10−12=0
Subtract the numbers
−2(3−2x)−22=0
Calculate

Evaluate
−2(3−2x)−22
Expand the expression
More Steps
Calculate
−2(3−2x)
Apply the distributive property
−2×3−(−2×2x)
Multiply the numbers
−6−(−2×2x)
Multiply the numbers
−6−(−4x)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
−6+4x
−6+4x−22
Subtract the numbers
−28+4x
−28+4x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
4x=0+28
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
4x=28
Divide both sides
44x=428
Divide the numbers
x=428
