Distribute into the parentheses first.
5(2x - 2)-3 = 4(x-3)+11
10x - 10 - 3 = 4x - 12 + 11
Then combine like-terms.
10x - 13 = 4x - 1
Then get all the constant terms (-1 & -13) on one side and the linear terms (10x & 4x) on the other.
6x = 12
x = 2
Hope this helps!

10x-10+15=4x+12+44
10x+5 = 4x+56
14x+61=

first you distribute 5 times 2x and then 5 times -2
on the other side distribute 4 times x then 4 times -3
get all the numbers with a variable on one side and the real numbers on the other side. if you want the answer.. i dont feel like working it out

multiply it out using distribution
10x-10-3 = 4x-12+11
move x to one side...
6x=12
x=2
