To solve the equation, we need to distribute the -2 to each term inside the parentheses:
-2(6x - 5) = 4
-12x + 10 = 4
Next, we can isolate the x-term by subtracting 10 from both sides:
-12x + 10 - 10 = 4 - 10
-12x = -6
Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by -12:
(-12x)/(-12) = (-6)/(-12)
x = 1/2
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 1/2.
-2(6x - 5) = 4
