12-2\left(2x-1\right)=-3x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 3,2.
12-4x+2=-3x
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 2x-1.
14-4x=-3x
Add 12 and 2 to get 14.
14-4x+3x=0
Add 3x to both sides.
14-x=0
Combine -4x and 3x to get -x.
-x=-14
Subtract 14 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=14
Multiply both sides by -1.
