First I think you use distributive property to get 4x - 3 + 2x - 10

anonymous · Answer

6x-13 by eye ball.

anonymous · Answer

Then combine like terms, 6x - 13

anonymous · Answer

Nobody helps for medals

anonymous · Answer

4x-3+2x-10 (distribution property)
6x-13

christos · Answer

multiply 2 with x and 2 with -5 as a first step...

christos · Answer

then add 4x with 2x = 6x and add -3 with - 10 = -13 as a final step and you are done..
