Answer: x = -1 / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression

6 (2x - 5) = -34

Expand the parentheses and apply the distributive property

6 · 2x - 6 · 5 = -34

12x - 30 = -34

Add 30 on both sides

12x - 30 + 30 = -34 + 30

12x = -4

Divide 12 on both sides

12x / 12 = -4 / 12

[tex]\boxed{x=-\frac{1}{3} }[/tex]

Hope this helps!! :)
