so get all the x terms one side
when dealing with equations, do the same to both sides so the equation will stay equal
first group like terms
2x+5(-8)=12-10
negative times positive=negative
2x-40=2
add 40 to BOTH SIDES
2x=42
divide BOTH sides by 2
x=21

So,
2x + 5(-8) = 12 - 10
Distribute
2x - 40 = 12 - 10
