Multiply the bracket by - 4

-4 (3x-2) = 6x+2

-12x+8=6x+2

Whenever multiplying a - negative number and a + positive number = - negative number

Whenever multiplying a - negative number and - a negative number = + positive number

-12x+8=6x+2

Move + 6x to the other side. Sign changes from + 6x to - 6x

-12x-6x+8 = 6x-6x+2

-18x+8 = 2

Move 8 to the other side. Sign changes from + 8 to - 8

-18x+8-8 = 2-8

-18x = - 6

Divide by - 18 for - 18x and - 6

-18/18x = - 6/-18
