Answer:

x cannot be solved

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we will have to deal with the bracket first

So let's solve

2x-12=2(x-10)-8

Bracket first

2x-12=2x-20-8

Collect like terms

-12+8+20=2x-2x

16=0

Therefore x cannot be solved due to the fact that x has been eliminated during our solving

It will be best to say that x cannot be solved
