2(x+6) = -9x - 43
2x + 12 = -9x - 43
11x + 12 = -43
11x = -55
x=-5

2(x+6)=-9x-43
2x+12=-9x-43
12+43=-9x-2x
55=-11x
therefore,
-5=x
then substitute the value to check

2x+12= -9x-43
2x+9x= -12-43
11x= -55
x= - 5

distribute and get 2x+12 = -9x -43
add 9x to both sides and subtract 12 from both sides and get 11x = -55...divide both sides by 11 and you get x = -5
