First we distribute 3 into 2x and -4.
3 x 2x = 6x
3 x -4 = -12
That will make the left side of the equation:
6x - 12 = 5x + 2
Now we subtract 5x on both sides of the equation.
x - 12 = 2
Finally we add 12 on both sides of the equation.
x = 14 is the answer
The answer is 250 points, to find this just divide by 2 three times.
I think using a computer software would be the best answer because it is then fair
