Question 460990
{{{3x+4=-2(x+3)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{3x+4=-2x-6}}} Distribute.



{{{3x=-2x-6-4}}} Subtract {{{4}}} from both sides.



{{{3x+2x=-6-4}}} Add {{{2x}}} to both sides.



{{{5x=-6-4}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{5x=-10}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-10)/(5)}}} Divide both sides by {{{5}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-2}}} Reduce.
