18-3x+12=2\left(-4x+1\right)-6x
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by x-4.
30-3x=2\left(-4x+1\right)-6x
Add 18 and 12 to get 30.
30-3x=-8x+2-6x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by -4x+1.
30-3x=-14x+2
Combine -8x and -6x to get -14x.
30-3x+14x=2
Add 14x to both sides.
30+11x=2
Combine -3x and 14x to get 11x.
11x=2-30
Subtract 30 from both sides.
11x=-28
Subtract 30 from 2 to get -28.
x=\frac{-28}{11}
Divide both sides by 11.
x=-\frac{28}{11}
Fraction \frac{-28}{11} can be rewritten as -\frac{28}{11} by extracting the negative sign.
