5x-10=3\left(x+4\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x-2.
5x-10=3x+12
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x+4.
5x-10-3x=12
Subtract 3x from both sides.
2x-10=12
Combine 5x and -3x to get 2x.
2x=12+10
Add 10 to both sides.
2x=22
Add 12 and 10 to get 22.
x=\frac{22}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=11
Divide 22 by 2 to get 11.
