Answer 17

1) you first have to do everything in the bracket
2) then it will become 10-[2+2x]=3x
3) your next step is to get everything out of the bracket. you see their is a subtraction sign in front of the brackets, so consider it to be -1 and distribute it to everything inside the bracket
4) then your answer will be 10-2-2x=3x
5) then combine like terms to get 8-2x3x
6) add2x to both sides to get 8=5x
7) divide 5 from both sides to get x=5/8

hope that helps :D
