Combine 4x and 6x to get 10x.
10x+2=8x-40
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 2x-10.
10x+2-8x=-40
Subtract 8x from both sides.
2x+2=-40
Combine 10x and -8x to get 2x.
2x=-40-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
2x=-42
Subtract 2 from -40 to get -42.
x=\frac{-42}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=-21
Divide -42 by 2 to get -21.
