You can put this solution on YOUR website! -2(x+3)=4(x+12) you need to distribute so distributive property
-2x-6=4x+48 use the addition property of equality to add 2x to each side
-6=6x+48 use the subtraction property of equality to subtract 48 from each side
-54=6x use the division property of equality to divide each side by 6
-9=x proof
