The solution

You have entered [src]
2*(3*x - 2) - 4*x = 5*x - 1
$$- 4 x + 2 \left(3 x - 2\right) = 5 x - 1$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
2*(3*x-2)-4*x = 5*x-1

Expand brackets in the left part
2*3*x-2*2-4*x = 5*x-1

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-4 + 2*x = 5*x-1

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$2 x = 5 x + 3$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\left(-3\right) x = 3$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -3
x = 3 / (-3)

We get the answer: x = -1
