Yes, it is a solution because both sides of the equation equal B. No, it is not a solution because $6 x-2=-32$ and $-12=-12$.
Solution
Step 1 ：Substitute x = -5 into the equation $6x - 2 = -12$
Step 2 ：Calculate the left side of the equation: $6(-5) - 2 = -32$
Step 3 ：The right side of the equation is -12
Step 4 ：Since -32 is not equal to -12, x = -5 is not a solution to the equation
Step 5 ：\(\boxed{\text{B. No, it is not a solution because } 6x - 2 = -32 \text{ and } -12 = -12}\)
