Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 (4 - x) = 12x – 3

-8+2x=12x-3

+8            +8

2x=12x+5

-12x  -12x

-10x=5

/-10  /-10

= -1/2

Answer:

x = -1/2 or -0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 (4 - x) = 12x - 3

Distribute the -2

-8 + 2x = 12x -3

Add 3 to both sides

-5 + 2x = 12x

Subtract 2x from both sides

-5 = 10x

Divide both sides by 10

x = -1/2 or -0.5
