Subtract 4 from both sides:
[tex]-5(3x - 4) = 110[/tex]
There is a coefficient for the term in parentheses: -5. To get rid of this coefficient, divide both sides by -5:
[tex]3x - 4 = -22[/tex]
Add 4 to both sides:
[tex]3x = -18[/tex]
Divide both sides by 3 to get x by itself:
[tex]\boxed{x = -6}[/tex]
