Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x+2) - 4 = -(x-6) | Given
3x + 6 - 4 = -x + 6 | Distribute.
On the right side, where there is a minus on the outside of the parenthesis you can assume there is a 1. Flip the signs and multiply everything inside by -1.
3x + 2 = -x + 6 | Add the numbers
3x = -x + 4 | Subtract 2 from both sides
4x = 4 | Add x to both sides
x = 1 | Divide both sides by 4.
