-3(2x-1)<-4[2+3(x+2)]
-6x+3<-4[2 + 3x+6]
-6x+3<-4[3x+8]
-6x+3<-12x-32
6x<-35
x<-35/6

PS It's not an equation, it's an inequality.
Equations have equal signs.

-3(2x-1) < -4[2+3(x+2)]
-6x +3 < -4[ 2+3x+6]
-6x+3 < -8 -12x -24
-6x +12x < -8 -24 -3
6x < -35
x< -35/6 ( -5.833)
.
check, let x =-6 ( which is less than -5.833)
39 < 40 ,,,,,,,ok
