Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

6(-x - 3) = 24

Step 2: Solve for x

Divide 6 on both sides:                    -x - 3 = 4Add 3 on both sides:                        -x = 7Divide -1 on both sides:                    x = -7

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in x:                    6(-(-7) - 3) = 24Multiply:                               6(7 - 3) = 24Subtract:                              6(4) = 24Multiply:                               24 = 24

Here we see that 24 does indeed equal 24.

∴ x = -7 is the solution to the equation.
