To solve the equation \(-12x + 20 = -10x + 32\), we can follow these steps:
1. **Isolate the variable**: Start by getting all the terms containing \(x\) on one side and the constant terms on the other side.
\[
-12x + 10x = 32 - 20
\]
2. **Combine like terms**:
\[
-2x = 12
\]
3. **Solve for \(x\)** by dividing both sides by -2:
\[
x = \frac{12}{-2}
\]
\[
x = -6
\]
So, the solution is:
\[
x = -6
\]
