Hey! I decided to write it for you.
Step 1: Distribute
Step 2: Move the x to one side by simplifying
Step 3: Take a way 36 from both sides
Step 4: Divide and simplify

Answer: x = -28

Explanation:

3(2x + 12) = 2(2x - 10)
3 * 2x + 3 * 12 = 2 * 2x - 2 * 10
6x + 36 = 2 * 2x - 2 * 10
6x + 36 = 4x - 20
6x - 4x + 36 = -20
2x + 36 = -20
2x = -20 - 36
2x = -56
x = -56/2
=> x = -28

Therefore, x = -28
