Put the steps in order for solving the equation:
-2(4x - 8) + 2x = -5x + 10
Get the constants on one side: 6=x
combine like terms: -6x+16=-5x+10
Distribute: -8x+16+2x=-5x+10
get the x-terms together on one side: 16=x+10
-2(4x - 8) + 2x = -5x + 10
Get the constants on one side: 6=x
combine like terms: -6x+16=-5x+10
Distribute: -8x+16+2x=-5x+10
get the x-terms together on one side: 16=x+10
