    Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

    2x-2=2x-10

    Step 1: Subtract 2x from both sides.

    2x-2-2x=2x-10-2x

    -2=-10

    Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.

    -2+2=-10+2

    0=-8

    There are no solutions.

    First, you need to get x by itself, so you'll add 2 to both sides of the equal sides which will cancel the - 2 and leave 4x by itself:

    4x-2=2x-10

    +2 + 2

    4x=2x-8

    Next, you'll subtract the 2x from both sides, leaving the - 8 by itself.

    4x = 2x - 8

    -2x - 2x

    2x = - 8

    Finally, you'll divide both sides by the coefficient of 2x, which is 2. That leaves you with x = - 2
