The solution

You have entered [src]
x - 5*(x - 2) = 28
$$x - 5 \left(x - 2\right) = 28$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
x-5*(x-2) = 28

Expand brackets in the left part
x-5*x+5*2 = 28

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
10 - 4*x = 28

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 4 x = 18$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -4
x = 18 / (-4)

We get the answer: x = -9/2
