4-3x-6=3x%2B2-x Start with the given equation.


-3x-2=3x%2B2-x Combine like terms on the left side.


-3x-2=2x%2B2 Combine like terms on the right side.


-3x=2x%2B2%2B2 Add 2 to both sides.


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


-5x=2%2B2 Combine like terms on the left side.


-5x=4 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%284%29%2F%28-5%29 Divide both sides by -5 to isolate x.


x=-4%2F5 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is x=-4%2F5
