Answer:
[tex] \boxed{\bold{\boxed{ \sf{x = - 3}}}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \sf{2(6x - 1) = - 38}[/tex]
Distribute 2 through the parentheses
⇒[tex] \sf{12x - 2 = - 38}[/tex]
Move constant to right hand side and change it's sign
⇒[tex] \sf{12x = - 38 + 2}[/tex]
Calculate
⇒[tex] \sf{12x = - 36}[/tex]
Divide both sides of the equation by 12
⇒[tex] \sf{ \frac{12x}{12} = \frac{ - 36}{12} }[/tex]
Calculate
⇒[tex] \sf{x = - 3}[/tex]
