3%283x-2%29-5x=2-2x Start with the given equation.


9x-6-5x=2-2x Distribute.


4x-6=2-2x Combine like terms on the left side.


4x=2-2x%2B6 Add 6 to both sides.


4x%2B2x=2%2B6 Add 2x to both sides.


6x=2%2B6 Combine like terms on the left side.


6x=8 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%288%29%2F%286%29 Divide both sides by 6 to isolate x.


x=4%2F3 Reduce.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So the solution is x=4%2F3 which approximates to x=1.333.
