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


2x%2B3=2x%2B2x-x Combine like terms on the left side.


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


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


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


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


x=%28-3%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate x.


x=3 Reduce.
