    X = 2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Firstly, try simplfying the equation simply multiply the whole brackets with 2

    -X - (18 - 16x) = 12

    You can either multiply the whole equation by - 1 or simplfy it, im gonna do the second option here.

    -X - 18 + 16x = 12

    Now, lets add 18 to both sides.

    -X - 18 + 16X + 18 = 12 + 18

    -X + 16X = 30

    Getting simple here, Subtract an X from the 16X.

    15X = 30

    Divide the whole equation by 15.

    X = 2

    Always check if the answer is right or not.

    - (2) - 2[9-8 (2) ]

    -2 - (18-32)

    -2 - (-14)

    -2+14

    12 = 12

    And that's how it's solved.
