   add x 

       add 12

       divide by 7  

Answer : x= 1 3/7

-1(x + 2) = 2(3x - 6)

First, simplify 1 × (x + 2) to (x + 2) / Your problem should look like: 
Second, expand. / Your problem should look like: 
Third, add x to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 
Fourth, simplify 6x - 12 + x to get 7x - 12. / Your problem should look like: 
Fifth, add 12 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 
Sixth, add -2 + 12 to get 10. / Your problem should look like: 
Seventh, divide both sides by 7. / Your problem should look like: 
Eighth, switch your sides. / Your problem should look like: 

x = 
Answer as decimal: 1.4286
