-x-4x-2=3\left(-x\right)-10
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 2x+1.
-x-4x-2-3\left(-x\right)=-10
Subtract 3\left(-x\right) from both sides.
-2\left(-x\right)-4x-2=-10
Combine -x and -3\left(-x\right) to get -2\left(-x\right).
-2\left(-x\right)-4x=-10+2
Add 2 to both sides.
2x-4x=-10+2
Multiply -2 and -1 to get 2.
-2x=-10+2
Combine 2x and -4x to get -2x.
-2x=-8
Add -10 and 2 to get -8.
x=\frac{-8}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=4
Divide -8 by -2 to get 4.
