x%2B3%2B2x=x%2B3 Start with the given equation.


3x%2B3=x%2B3 Combine like terms on the left side.


3x=x%2B3-3 Subtract 3 from both sides.


3x-x=3-3 Subtract x from both sides.


2x=3-3 Combine like terms on the left side.


2x=0 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%280%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x.


x=0 Reduce.
