6\left(4x-2\right)=3\left(-4x+1-5\right)
Combine x and 3x to get 4x.
24x-12=3\left(-4x+1-5\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by 4x-2.
24x-12=3\left(-4x-4\right)
Subtract 5 from 1 to get -4.
24x-12=-12x-12
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by -4x-4.
24x-12+12x=-12
Add 12x to both sides.
36x-12=-12
Combine 24x and 12x to get 36x.
36x=-12+12
Add 12 to both sides.
36x=0
Add -12 and 12 to get 0.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since 36 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
