Question 545592
{{{-3(2x+5)-2=-4(x+3)+3x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-6x-15-2=-4x-12+3x}}} Distribute.



{{{-6x-17=-4x-12+3x}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-6x-17=-x-12}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{-6x=-x-12+17}}} Add {{{17}}} to both sides.



{{{-6x+x=-12+17}}} Add {{{x}}} to both sides.



{{{-5x=-12+17}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



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



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



{{{x=-1}}} Reduce.
