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.
