    Distribute the 2 and 3 ...

    2x + 10 + 2 = 6x - 12

    Combine like terms

    2x + 12 = 6x - 12

    Add 12 to both sides and subtract 2x from both sides. This will put the x on just one side of the equation.

    24 = 4x

    Then divide by 4 to isolate x

    x = 6

    Too make sure you have the right answer substitute 6 into the beginning equation.

    2 (6 + 5) + 2 = 3 (2 (6) - 4)

    2 (11) + 2 = 3 (12 - 4)

    22 + 2 = 3 (8)

    24 = 24

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

    2 (x+5) + 2 = 3 (2x - 4)

    Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

    2 (x+5) + 2 = 3 (2x - 4)

    Simplify: (Show steps)

    2x + 12 = 6x - 12

    Step 2: Subtract 6x from both sides.

    2x + 12 - 6x = 6x - 12 - 6x

    - 4x + 12 = - 12

    Step 3: Subtract 12 from both sides.

    - 4x + 12 - 12 = - 12 - 12

    - 4x = - 24

    Step 4: Divide both sides by - 4.

    - 4x - 4 = - 24 - 4

    x=6

    Answer:

    x = 6
