hi again darling ;
-3(2x - 4) + 5 -(4x + 2)
[ ( -3 * 2x) + ( -3 * -4 ) ] + 5 + [ - 4x - 2 ]
-6x + 12 + 5 - 4x - 2
[ - 6x - 4x ] + [ 12 + 5 - 2 ]
- 10x + 15
{ -10x = - 15 ; x = (-10) /(-15) ; x = +1/2 OR x = +0.5 }
Good Luck sweetheart.

-3(2x - 4) + 5 - (4x + 2) = -6x + 12 + 5 - 4x - 2
= -6x -4x + 12 + 5 - 2
= -10x + 15
