Solve the equation 4(3x-2)=2x-5

4(3x-2)=2x-5
Expand the brackets: 4(3x)-4(2)=2x-5 ---> 12x-8=2x-5Collect like terms, but beware of sign changes: 12x-2x-8=-5 (subtract 2 from both sides of the equation) -----> 10x=-5+8 (add 8 to both sides) ---------> 10x=3Make 'x' the subject of the equation: x=3/10
