Question
$$-2(x-5)-4x-3 = -29$$
Answer
$$ x = 6 $$
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} -2(x-5)-4x-3 &= -29&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]-(2x-10)-4x-3 &= -29&& \\[1 em]-2x+10-4x-3 &= -29&& \\[1 em]-6x+7 &= -29&& \text{ move 7 to the right } \\[1 em]-6x &= -29-7&& \\[1 em]-6x &= -36&& \text{ divide both sides by $ -6 $ } \\[1 em]x &= \frac{-36}{-6}&& \\[1 em]x &= 6&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
