The solution

You have entered [src]
20*x - 10 = 12*(16*x + 6) - 10*x
$$20 x - 10 = - 10 x + 12 \left(16 x + 6\right)$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
20*x-10 = 12*(16*x+6)-10*x

Expand brackets in the right part
20*x-10 = 12*16*x+12*6-10*x

Looking for similar summands in the right part:
-10 + 20*x = 72 + 182*x

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$20 x = 182 x + 82$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\left(-162\right) x = 82$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -162
x = 82 / (-162)

We get the answer: x = -41/81
