Steps to solve:
-2x + 5(x - 6) = 6
~Distributive Property
-2x + (5 * x) + (5 * -6) = 6
~Simplify
-2x + 5x + (-30) = 6
~Combine Like Terms
(-2x + 5x) - 30 = 6
~Simplify
3x - 30 = 6
~Add 30 to both sides
3x - 30 + 30 = 6 + 30
~Simplify
3x = 36
~Divide 3 to both sides
3x/3 = 36/3
~Simplify
x = 12
Best of Luck!
