multiply out brackets:
-12x - 6 = -4x + 10
put x's on one side, numbers on the other:
-12x + 4x = 10 + 6
work out:
-8x = 16
divide by -8:
x = -2

-6(2x + 1) = -4x + 10
Step 1: distribute the -6
-12x - 6 = -4x + 10
Step 2: separate the variables and constants across the =
-12x (+ 4x) - 6 = -4x (+ 4x) + 10
-8x - 6 = 10
-8x - 6 (+ 6) = 10 (+ 6)
-8x = 16
Step 3: solve for x
-8x / -8 = 16 / -8
x = -2
Hope this helps!

-12x-6=-4x+10
-12x-6+6=-4x+10+6
-12x=-4x+16
-12x+4x=-4x+4x+16
-8x=16
-8x/-8=16/-8
x=-2
