    -19

    Step-by-step explanation:

    12x - 6 + 6 = 10x - 40 + 2

    12x - 10x = - 40 + 2 + 6 - 6

    2x = - 38

    x = - 38/2 = - 19

    The two truths are:

    x is a negative number (x = - 19)

    x+5>x (if x is positive, is true; if x is negative, is also true)

    The one lie is:

    3x > 2x (if x is negative, the expression will be 3x < 2x)
