12-2\left(2x-5\right)=36-3x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 6,4.
12-4x+10=36-3x
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 2x-5.
22-4x=36-3x
Add 12 and 10 to get 22.
22-4x+3x=36
Add 3x to both sides.
22-x=36
Combine -4x and 3x to get -x.
-x=36-22
Subtract 22 from both sides.
-x=14
Subtract 22 from 36 to get 14.
x=-14
Multiply both sides by -1.
