Answer 1

`\boxed {x = -2}`

Explanation:

Solve for the value of
`x`:

`3x + 6 = -3(2x + 4)`

-Use Distributive Property:

`3x + 6 = -3(2x + 4)`

`3x + 6 = -6x - 12`

-Take
`6x` and add it to
`3x`:

`3x + 6 + 6x = -6x + 6x - 12`

`9x + 6 = -12`

-Subtract both sides by
`6`:

`9x + 6 - 6 = -12 - 6`

`9x = -18`

-Divide both sides by
`9`:

`(9x)/(9) = (-18)/(9)`

`\boxed {x = -2}`

Therefore, the value of
`x` is
`-2`.
