3(x - 2) - 2(x + 5) = -24
3x - 6 - 2x + 10 = -24
X+4 = -24
x=-28
Is Abigail correct? Why or why not? Please explain using complete sentences.

No, she is not correct. The correct answer is -8 because when she distributed the 2 to (x+5), she did not make the the 10 negative. So the correct equation would be:
3x-6 - 2x-10=-24
