Drag the correct value into the space provided in order to complete the sentence.

In the equation [tex]-6(3x-2)=4 \Rightarrow \square[/tex]

:: [tex]-18x[/tex]
:: [tex]-9x[/tex]
:: [tex]3x[/tex]
:: [tex]-12[/tex]
:: [tex]-4[/tex]
:: [tex]12[/tex]



Answer :

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]
