Solution

Sure, let's solve the equation step by step:

  1. Distribute the -3 into the parentheses: -3*(-x) + -3*2 - x + 4 = -12 This simplifies to: 3x - 6 - x + 4 = -12

  2. Combine like terms on the left side of the equation: (3x - x) + (-6 + 4) = -12 This simplifies to: 2x - 2 = -12

  3. Add 2 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x on one side: 2x - 2 + 2 = -12 + 2 This simplifies to: 2x = -10

  4. Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x: 2x / 2 = -10 / 2 This simplifies to: x = -5

So, the solution to the equation -3(-x+2) - x + 4 = -12 is x = -5.
