What is the solution to the equation 2(x + 3) = 4(x - 6)?

-18
-6
6
18

The correct answer is: -6

The solution to the equation can be found by distributing the numbers inside the parentheses, then collecting like terms. Option A, -18, does not result in the same product when simplified. Option C, 6, and D, 18, do not take into account the coefficient of 2 on the left side of the equation, resulting in a different solution. Option B, -6, correctly distributes the numbers and collects like terms to result in an equivalent equation. Therefore, -6 is the correct solution to this equation.
