Answer: x - 6 = -12

Step-by-step explanation: first, we'll solve for x in 6 - x = 12. We'll isolate the variable by subtracting 6 from both sides, which gives us -x = 6. Now we'll divide both sides by -1 to get x and we will get -6 = x. So for the expression, we'll sub in the value we got for x from the equation, -6. -6 - 6 = -12.
