Answer:

If you're looking for x, the answer is -0.25! :D

Explanation:

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand

6+4(3x-2)+5=0

Reorder the terms in parentheses

6+(+12x-8)+5=0

Remove unnecessary parentheses

+6+12x-8+5=0

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.

+12x=0-6+8-5

We simplify left and right side of the equation.

+12x=-3

We divide both sides of the equation by 12 to get x.

x=-0.25
