To answer this question, you need to multiply the number inside the bracket first. Then you can move the number to the right side of the equal sign and keep the x on the left side of the equal sign. The step would be like this
2(x – 5) - 6x= -22
(2x - 10) - 6x = -22
2x - 6x = -22 +10
-4x= -12
x= -12/-4
x=3
