Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by 2x-5.
28x-30-12=x-2\left(5x+3\right)
Combine 12x and 16x to get 28x.
28x-42=x-2\left(5x+3\right)
Subtract 12 from -30 to get -42.
28x-42=x-10x-6
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 5x+3.
28x-42=-9x-6
Combine x and -10x to get -9x.
28x-42+9x=-6
Add 9x to both sides.
37x-42=-6
Combine 28x and 9x to get 37x.
37x=-6+42
