$$5-2(3x+2) = 0$$
Answer
$$ x = \frac{1}{6} $$
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} 5-2(3x+2) &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]5-(6x+4) &= 0&& \\[1 em]5-6x-4 &= 0&& \\[1 em]-6x+1 &= 0&& \text{ move the constants to the right } \\[1 em]-6x &= -1&& \text{ divide both sides by $ -6 $ } \\[1 em]x &= \frac{-1}{-6}&& \\[1 em]x &= \frac{1}{6}&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
