5\times 5x-2\left(x+2\right)=10
Multiply both sides of the equation by 10, the least common multiple of 2,5.
25x-2\left(x+2\right)=10
Multiply 5 and 5 to get 25.
25x-2x-4=10
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x+2.
23x-4=10
Combine 25x and -2x to get 23x.
23x=10+4
Add 4 to both sides.
23x=14
Add 10 and 4 to get 14.
x=\frac{14}{23}
Divide both sides by 23.
