QUESTION:

2(x -3) - 3(x + 5) = 3(x - 2) - 7

ANSWER:

2(x -3) - 3(x + 5) = 3(x - 2) - 7

Remove parenthesis by multiplying....

==> 2*x - 2*3 - 3*x -3* 5 = 3*x - 3*2 - 7

==> 2x - 6 - 3x - 15 = 3x - 6 - 7

==> 2x - 3x -6 - 15 = 3x - 6 - 7

==> -1x - 21 = 3x - 13

Subtract 3x from both sides.....

==> -1x - 21 - 3x = 3x - 13 - 3x

==> -1x - 3x - 21 = - 13

==> -4x - 21 = -13

add 21 to both sides of the equation....

==> -4x - 21 + 21 = - 13 + 21

==> -4x = 8

divide both sides by -4

==> -4x/-4 = 8/-4

==> x = -2

So the solution is x= -2

Hope yopu understood.
