To solve the equation \(-2(x - 6) = -12\), we can follow these steps:
- Start by distributing the \(-2\) on the left side:
\[ -2x + 12 = -12 \]
- Next, subtract \(12\) from both sides of the equation:
\[ -2x + 12 - 12 = -12 - 12 \] \[ -2x = -24 \]
- Now, divide both sides by \(-2\):
\[ x = \frac{-24}{-2} \] \[ x = 12 \]
Thus, the value of \(x\) that is a solution to the equation is \(x = 12\).
