Answer:

[tex]x = 5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]Let's \ solve \for \ \(x\) in the given equation:\[-38 + 6x = -12x + 52\]Combine like terms:\[6x + 12x = 52 - (-38)\]\[18x = 90\]Now, divide both sides by 18 to isolate \(x\):\[x = \frac{90}{18}\]Simplify:\[x = 5\]So, the correct answer is:\\d. \(x = 5\)[/tex]
