\text {Hello! Let's Solve this Problem!}


\text {\underline {The First Step is to Flip The Equation}}


\text {Before: 6= -3(x+2)}\\\text {After: -3(x+2)=6}


\text {\underline {The Next Step is to Simplify the Equation}}


\text {-3*x=-3x}\\\text {-3*2=-6}


\text {Your New Problem Should Be: -3x-6=6}


\text {\underline {The Next Step is to Add 6 to Both Sides}}


\text {-3x-6+6 (-6+6 crosses out because it'll equal 0}\\\text {6+6=12}


\text {To get x by itself we must divide now}


\text {\underline {The Final Step is to Divide Both Sides by -3}}


\text {-3x/-3=0 (this crosses out each other. Leaving x by itself)}\\\text {12/-3=}


\text {Your Answer Would Be:}


\huge\boxed {x=-4}


\text {Best of Luck!}
