Question 127395: I am sorry to be such a pain. I am scheduled to apply for tutoring tomorrow.
3-(6x+5)=3+(3x+4)
This is my work on it
3-6x-5=7+3x
-2-6x=7+3x
-2+2-6x=7+3x+2
-6x=9+3x
-6x-3x=9+3x-3x
-9x=9
-9x/-9=9/-9
x=-1
Is that right? If not can you see where I am going wrong?

Your answer is absolutely correct!
You can always check your solution by substituting your answer into the original equation.
3-(6x+5) = 3+(3x+4) Substitute x = -1.
3-(6(-1)+5 = 3+(3(-1)+4) Simplify.
3-(-1) = 3+(1)
3+1 = 3+1
4 = 4 Your solution is ok.
