First, you need to get x by itself, so you'll add 2 to both sides of the equal sides which will cancel the -2 and leave 4x by itself:
4x-2=2x-10
+2 +2
4x=2x-8
Next, you'll subtract the 2x from both sides, leaving the -8 by itself.
4x = 2x -8
-2x -2x
2x= -8
Finally, you'll divide both sides by the coefficient of 2x, which is 2. That leaves you with x= -2

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
2x−2=2x−10
Step 1: Subtract 2x from both sides.
2x−2−2x=2x−10−2x
−2=−10
Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.
−2+2=−10+2
0=−8

Answer:

714 is the total number that is sold, if there is 64 more tickets sold for students then adults, then do 714 divided by 2 and add 32 to get the number for students, and for adults do 714 divided by 2 and subtract by 32. so, like this 714/2+32=389 tickets for students and 714/2-32=325 for adults. Hope this helps
