Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

-3(x-2)=12

-3x+6=12

subtract 6 from both sides

-3x+6-6=12-6

-3x=6

divide by -3

-3x/3=6/-3

x=-2

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