-4x-12+2x=2\left(x+2\right)-16-4x
Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by x+3.
-2x-12=2\left(x+2\right)-16-4x
Combine -4x and 2x to get -2x.
-2x-12=2x+4-16-4x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+2.
-2x-12=2x-12-4x
Subtract 16 from 4 to get -12.
-2x-12=-2x-12
Combine 2x and -4x to get -2x.
-2x-12+2x=-12
Add 2x to both sides.
-12=-12
Combine -2x and 2x to get 0.
\text{true}
Compare -12 and -12.
x\in \mathrm{C}
This is true for any x.
