1. Distribute the negative sign in front of the parentheses on both sides of the equation:
-3x - 12 = -2x - 6
2. Rearrange the equation to collect like terms:
-3x + 2x = -6 + 12
-x = 6
3. Solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by -1:
x = -6
Therefore, the solution for x is x = -6.
−3(x+4) = −2(x+3)
