Given the equation:

$X-3\left(x+2\right)=4$

Then, solve for x:

$\begin{gathered} x-3x-6=4 \\ \end{gathered}$

Add similar elements:

$\begin{gathered} -2x-6=4 \\ -2x-6+6=4+6 \\ Simplify \\ -2x=10 \end{gathered}$

Divide both sides by -2:

$\begin{gathered} (-2x)/(-2)=(10)/(-2) \\ x=-5 \end{gathered}$

Answer: x = -5
