It depends on the particular equation, of course.

You can use several tricks, including eliminating things outside the parentheses, and using the distributive property.

Here is one example:

2(x+3) = 10

Divide both sides by 2:

x + 3 = 5. (The remainder should be easy to solve.

Another soution, using the distributive property:

2(x+3) = 10

2x + 6 = 10

Again, I am assuming you know how to solve equations WITHOUT parentheses, so I won't give the full solution here.
