72-30x-2\left(3x+2\right)=-2x
Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by 12-5x.
72-30x-6x-4=-2x
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 3x+2.
72-36x-4=-2x
Combine -30x and -6x to get -36x.
68-36x=-2x
Subtract 4 from 72 to get 68.
68-36x+2x=0
Add 2x to both sides.
68-34x=0
Combine -36x and 2x to get -34x.
-34x=-68
Subtract 68 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-68}{-34}
Divide both sides by -34.
x=2
Divide -68 by -34 to get 2.
