I came here first lel ;)
5(2x−12)+21=2x+41
simplify both sides of the equation.
5(2x−12)+21=2x+41
(5)(2x)+(5)(−12)+21=2x+41(Distribute)
10x+−60+21=2x+41
(10x)+(−60+21)=2x+41(Combine Like Terms)
10x+−39=2x+41
10x−39=2x+41
Ubtract 2x from both sides.
10x−39−2x=2x+41−2x
8x−39=41
add 39 to both sides.
8x−39+39=41+39
8x=80
At last divide both sides by 8.
8x/8=80/8
x=10
