Add +12 to each side:
-2x-12+12=6+12
-2x=18

Divide by -2:

If you need additional help with equation solving, then see my own website. Do a Bing or Google search for my last name "Rapalje". Near the top of the search list, look for "Rapalje Homepage." Near the top of my Homepage, look for "Basic, Intermediate, and College Algebra: One Step at a Time." Select "Basic Algebra", and look in "Chapter 1" for "Section 1.08 Equation Solving."
