x-4x-2=3x-10
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 2x+1.
-3x-2=3x-10
Combine x and -4x to get -3x.
-3x-2-3x=-10
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-6x-2=-10
Combine -3x and -3x to get -6x.
-6x=-10+2
Add 2 to both sides.
-6x=-8
Add -10 and 2 to get -8.
x=\frac{-8}{-6}
Divide both sides by -6.
x=\frac{4}{3}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-8}{-6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.
