it would be equal to:
15x - 10 - 2x + 12 = 10
which is equal to:
13x = 8 --> x = 8/13

5(3x - 2) - 2(x - 6) = 10
Expand brackets
15x - 10 - 2x + 12 = 10
Group like terms together
13x + 2 = 10
Subtract 2 from each side
13x = 8
Divide both sides by 13
x = 8/13

15x-10-2x+12 = 10
13x+2 = 10
13x = 8
x = 8/13
