    3x-12=-2x+18 (distributive property)

    Now add two x to both sides.

    5x-12=18

    Now add. 12 to both sides.

    5x=30

    Divide both sides by 5.

    x=6

    3 (x - 4) = - 2x + 18

    Basically, you need to solve for x

    3 (x - 4) = - 2x + 18

    3x - 12 = - 2x + 18

    +2x + 2x

    5x - 12 = 18

    +12 + 12

    5x = 30

    x = 6

    Answer: The value that makes this equation true would be 6.
