Answer:
okay let's start
Step-by-step explanation:

First off we want to combine "like-terms"
1. Subtract 6x , so it will look like this: 2x-6x+12=-12
2. Subtract the -12 from the first side so it looks like 2x-6x=-12-12
3. Combine like terms. So: -3x=-24 . The negatives will cancel out when dividing 24/3.
The final answer is 8 after dividing. Hope this helped!
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
-6x - 20 = -2x + 4 (1 - 3x)
Distributive property
-6x - 20 = -2x + 4 - 12x
Combine like terms
-6x - 20 = -14x + 4
Add 14x to both sides
-6x - 20 + 14x = -14x + 4 + 14x
Simplifying
8x - 20 = 4
Add 20 to both sides
8x = 24
Divide both sides by 8
x = 3
