Explanation:
The first step is to distribute the bracket.
#2x-5+6x-4=10# simplify the left side by collecting like terms.
#rArr8x-9=10# add 9 to both sides.
#8xcancel(-9)cancel(+9)=10+9#
#rArr8x=19# To solve for x, divide both sides by 8.
#(cancel(8) x)/cancel(8)=19/8#
#rArrx=19/8" is the solution"#
