PEMDAS

2(x + 6) − 10 = 12 + 4(x − 1) first simplify
2x+12-10= 12+4x-4   add or subtract like terms
2x+2= 8+4x   subtract 2 both sides
    -2    -2
________________________________________
2x= 6+4x  subtract 4x on both sides
-4x      -4x
________________
-2x=6  divide -2 on both sides
 
-2x/-2 = 6/-2

x=?
