The solution

You have entered [src]
x - 2*(3*x + 2) = 16
$$x - 2 \left(3 x + 2\right) = 16$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
x-2*(3*x+2) = 16

Expand brackets in the left part
x-2*3*x-2*2 = 16

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-4 - 5*x = 16

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 5 x = 20$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -5
x = 20 / (-5)

We get the answer: x = -4
