Let's solve the equation step by step:
Given the equation:
[tex]\[ -6(3x - 2) = 4 \][/tex]
First, distribute the [tex]\(-6\)[/tex] across the terms inside the parentheses:
[tex]\[ -6 \cdot 3x + (-6) \cdot (-2) \][/tex]
This simplifies to:
[tex]\[ -18x + 12 \][/tex]
So the equation becomes:
[tex]\[ -18x + 12 = 4 \][/tex]
Now, observe the left-hand side again:
[tex]\[ -6(3x - 2) = -18x + 12 \][/tex]
The missing term that completes the sentence is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{-18x} \][/tex]
