4x%2B3%2B2x=6x%2B2-x Start with the given equation.



6x%2B3=6x%2B2-x Combine like terms on the left side.



6x%2B3=5x%2B2 Combine like terms on the right side.



6x=5x%2B2-3 Subtract 3 from both sides.



6x-5x=2-3 Subtract 5x from both sides.



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



x=-1 Combine like terms on the right side.
