3%28x%2B2%29=5-2%28x-3%29 Start with the given equation.


3x%2B6=5-2x%2B6 Distribute.


3x%2B6=-2x%2B11 Combine like terms on the right side.


3x=-2x%2B11-6 Subtract 6 from both sides.


3x%2B2x=11-6 Add 2x to both sides.


5x=11-6 Combine like terms on the left side.


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


x=%285%29%2F%285%29 Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x.


x=1 Reduce.
