So where do you think you should start?

anonymous · Answer

we will multiply  2 and 4 in parenthisis first :
2x+12-10= 12+4x-4
put the variables togathar and integers togather and add or substract them:
2x+2-8=0

2x+6=0
2x=-6
x=-3

-.-

anonymous · Answer

2x+12-10 = 12+4x-4
2-12+4 = 4x-2x
-6 = 2x
x = -6/2
x = -3
