Bot GPT 4-o mini To solve the equation \(-2(6x - 5) = 4\), follow these steps:
- Distribute -2 to the terms inside the parentheses:
\[ -2 \cdot 6x + -2 \cdot (-5) = 4 \] \[ -12x + 10 = 4 \]
- Next, isolate the variable term by subtracting 10 from both sides:
\[ -12x + 10 - 10 = 4 - 10 \] \[ -12x = -6 \]
- Now, divide both sides by -12 to solve for \(x\):
\[ x = \frac{-6}{-12} \] \[ x = \frac{1}{2} \]
Thus, the solution is:
\[ \boxed{\frac{1}{2}} \]
