-2x-10+x=3x+12
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x+5.
-x-10=3x+12
Combine -2x and x to get -x.
-x-10-3x=12
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-4x-10=12
Combine -x and -3x to get -4x.
-4x=12+10
Add 10 to both sides.
-4x=22
Add 12 and 10 to get 22.
x=\frac{22}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
x=-\frac{11}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{22}{-4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
