$- 3(x - 2) = 12$
Now, distribute.
$- 3x + 6 = 12$
Now subtract 6 from both sides.
$- 3x = 6$
Now, divide by -3.
$x = - 2$

2x-1/6 = 2(x-3)/3 + 1?

$2x-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{2(x-3)}{3}+1\ \ \ \ |multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ 6\\\\6(2x)-6(\frac{1}{6})=6\left(\frac{2x-6}{3}\right)+6(1)\\\\12x-1=2(2x-6)+6\\\\12x-1=2(2x)+2(-6)+6\\\\12x-1=4x-12+6\\\\12x-1=4x-6\ \ \ \ |add\ 1\ to\ both\ sides\\\\12x=4x-5\ \ \ \ \ |subtract\ 4x\ from\ both\ sides\\\\8x=-5\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 8\\\\\boxed{\boxed{x=-\frac{5}{8}}}$
