X = -3

Explanation:

1) Get $x$ $x$ to one side, and subtract -2x from -6x, you should get -4x
$\Rightarrow - 10 - 6 x = - 2 x + 2$ $=>−10−6x=−2x+2$
$\Rightarrow - 10 - 6 x - (- 2 x) = + 2$ $=>−10−6x-(-2x)=+2$
$\Rightarrow - 10 - 6 x + 2 x = 2$ $=>−10−6x+2x=2$
$\Rightarrow - 10 - 4 x = 2$ $=>-10 -4x = 2$

2) Then subtract -10 from 2, you should get 12
$\Rightarrow - 10 - 4 x = 2$ $=>-10 -4x = 2$
$\Rightarrow - 4 x = 2 - (- 10)$ $=> -4x = 2 - (-10)$
$\Rightarrow - 4 x = 2 + 10$ $=> -4x = 2 +10$
$\Rightarrow - 4 x = 12$ $=> -4x = 12$

3) Divide 12 by -4x
$\Rightarrow - 4 x = 12$ $=> -4x = 12$
$\Rightarrow x = \frac{12}{- 4}$ $=> x = 12/(-4)$
$\Rightarrow x = - 3$ $=>x= -3$
