To solve the equation, we will first distribute the -2 to inside the parentheses:

-2(6x-5) = 4
-12x + 10 = 4

Next, we will isolate the variable term by subtracting 10 from both sides:

-12x + 10 - 10 = 4 - 10
-12x = -6

Finally, we will solve for x by dividing both sides by -12:

-12x / -12 = -6 / -12
x = 1/2

Therefore, the solution to the equation -2(6x-5) = 4 is x = 1/2.
