Gael Schultz · Answer 1

-2 (6-x) = 3x, the solution is find the value of x, you must apply distributive property, tho the first term, - 12+2x = 3x⇒ 3x-2x = - 12⇒ x = - 12, the answer correct is option D

Brylee · Answer 2

The answer is "D" because after you distribute the - 2 you must move the - 2 to the other side and solve as normal
